from home care to factory care



   the new age of 
   personal  day care factories

     PART ONE 

   FROM THE BEGINNING 

   OR 

   FROM
   THE 
   SOCIALIZATION
    OF
   SOCIALIZATION
   TO
   THE 
   SOCIALIZATION
   OF
   FINALIZATION 
    ----------------------------------------------------





   I gotta tell ya
   sports fanz 


   THIS FAMILY UNIT
    KULT ?

   IT 
   SUCKS !
    
   as a permanent system
   going forward 
   stand alone ?

    come on 
   REALLY 
   FOLKS 

   can’t we swing
   somethin better ?

   aren’t we already
   being forced 
   to  swing
   somethin different ?

   can't
    the different
    we’re getting now
     be morphed into 
    a better alternative
   eventually ?

   lets fuckin hope so 

   ============================





   lets get
    the record straight


   despite 
   all the blitheration
   soulifying
   and spine tingling

   despite
   the obvious fact 
   these
   here
    family values
   we’re beatin 
   ourselves senseless over 
   are 
   making  uz all 
   fell freaky-feel creepy
   feel sneaky-feel cheaty 
   feel snaky 

   aren’t 
   they really 
   a crock 
   a Hollywood
   Madison Ave.
   holy tabernacle 
    horse shit 


   I   say
   the facts are in 
   and 
   the results  stinks 


   real humans
   on the one hand 
   and 
   family values
   on the other
   need 
   to get themselves 
   a full
    and  final
   D-I-V-O-R-C-E
   ---------------------------
   sure
   private kid raisin
   and private elder tendin
   BEEN BASIC FER
   MULTO GENERATIONS
   SHIT 
   they  got us here

    butfuck

    by taken uz back

   (and pards
    back
   is where 
    we'd  have to go) 

   can family values 
     get us 
   to a  better place ?

    by goin back to where 
   family values belong
   and 
   where
   family values 
    can thrive 

   would we
   miss a chance
    to brake thru
   to a  higher happiness ?
    
   ===================



    who doesn’t
   believe 
   the Victorian  family system 
    created monsters ?

   thousands of monsters 

   HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS
   OF MONSTERS

   the lemon  count 
   was 
   always
    wildly horrifying 

    raising humans 
   and tendin to em 
   cottage by cottage 
   even 
   mansion by mansion
   let alone 
   slum hole by slum hole 

   what the hell
    can you expect 

   puttin aside
   the possible 
   hired advantages
    available to
    gracious
    Wibbly mansion

   raisin kids
   home style 
   and seein 
   after old grand dud 

   gets done 
   about as well 
   as its  coeval 
    cookin meals 
   gets done

   wonderfully
    really 
     wonderfully

   if you happen
   to be  lucky
   enough 
   to get born 
   or placed
    inside
    the one in thirty
    households

   with a  mom or dad 
   or other significant
    blood appendage 
   who happens
   by chance to be
    good 
   at that particular
    aspect
   of daily 
   household
   activity

   -----------------------------

   then again holow cries fer 
   community solutions ?

   I say 
   go fuck yerself 
   --------------------------

      geeeeez 
   are 
   some
   super uptight
   well brained 
    hot as 
   desert sand
    chicks 
    a menace
   to clear thought

   ===================

    “ having to saddle up 
   along side herrrrr
   I DON'T CARE
   HOW GOOD THE CAUSE          
   shit 
   if it came to that 
   I’d 
   rather
   plot 
   the complete
    distruction 
   of the human race 
   WITH BILL BURROUGHS ”
          Doctor Spock
   (on workin with
   “the Hill ” lady
   on kid issues) 
   --------------------------
   OK
   St. hill's
   a shill

   she 
   sees
   a real shot at some 
   hand painted care
   where any
   half assed
    non Quixote
   sees just a pack
   of  venal rent seekers 
   and wage grifters

   OK so 
   as hot as she is in bed
    she sucks dead bolts 

   so thems the brakes
    


   fuck 
   lets 
   get back to 
   talkin 
   big picture here

   lets ask ourselves
   where we
   wanna be  goin

   get out a little 
   mission definition
   ----------------------

   firsts off 
   I say its 
   not about supplements
   its not about household
   augmentation 

   its not a simple 
   straight up
    case of 
   home" plus" 

   its about 
    getting
   completely beyond
    the mom and pop stage 
   entirely

   gettin 
   beyond the 
   onesee twosees
   amateur stage 
   of 
    people building 
   and lookin after

   I say 
   lets  promise 
   to fuckin figure 
   the best way 
   to get this present
   hybred  stage
   behind us
    
   once and for all 

   ==================

   now listen up here

   this is not Plato 
   talking 

   nor is it 
   some
    orphanage manager
   rubbin hiz livid
    palms together
   at the thought
   of a bevy of helpless
   new charges 


   I’M 
   ADVOCATING
   MULTI UNIT
   SOCIALIZATION OF 
   SOCIALIZATION
   NOT
    ONE UNIT 
    TOTALIZATION 
   OF SOCIALZATION

   not
   as lord Hallabumkin calls it

   “ some 
    ass forward 
   fractured folly
    sure to fuck over
    the buddin
      elite 
   and the duddin 
     deplete
   with equal
   cruelty and
   blankness”

   I’m AFTER
   a system 
   for
    every  person
    to get built by 

   but in stages 

   and by topics

   by many different set ups 

   in 
   pieces
   and 
   in parallel
   ========================

   yes we’ve traveled a long way from
    1830 or so 

   when every one
    pretty much
   stayed home all day 
   till they growed up enough
   to run away from 
   the place  
   fer keeps

   and even 
   with the huge transforms
   so far 
   there's still 
    a few good reasons
   why we don’t have

   fully socialized 
   socialization 
   already 

   and 
   one good reason is 
   the up till now march 
   of technology

   till now theres been
   no 
   big  technical
    ibrake thrus
   in personal  care services
   that would put 
   a way  bigger 
   production unit

   so far 
   out ahead of 
   the household nursery 
   that ......
    
   first lets look at 
   cost cost cost 
   =====================

   A.D.D. ALERT !

   i'm bored 
   AND
   THE TOP KICK'S 
    WONDERING 
   AROUND 
   UP HERE
   IN THE BRIDGE
   time
   either 
    to quit or 
   quantum  leap 
   ======================
   just looking
    at the results
   of ma pa outfits
   these days

   you got to puke 

   but lads 
    socialization 
   ain’t comin
   cause  do betterism
   strikes home 
   no 
   onlykold hard economics
    drives that process 


   ===================
   be4 we can
    finally 
   ring the gong
   and scream

   “ toss out ya kidz
   and oldleftovers 
    its 8 am 
   toss em out  to uz 
   and 
     get lost parental units 
   we’ll see ya at 6 ”

   and have every home in america
   empty its pockets of
   every
   soul not able to jobble

   from three months
    prior to birth
   to 3 months 
   prior to the coffin 

   be4 that day dawns
   we got some 
   work to do
   to get from here
   to  there

   to get where
   each job day 
   parents 
   give em all 
    up to the specialists 
   till job days end 

   is still a goal only
   ================

   rules of game 

   they can
   come 
   visit 
   and hand hold
    but 
   please leave 
   the serious person 
    building work to us 
   specialists

   =========

   results 
   so far though ..


   take child daycare 
   in general 

    if America’s
   day care systems
   were a 
   a string of corporations

   I’d close em up

   like all
   those pee wee
   banks got shut
   and shuttered 
   during the great runs 
   of the thirties

   I’d close em up 
    and so would you

   so folks lets
    see if we can 
    fix em now 

   before the bank 
   does it for us 

   guys 
   lets  look hard 
   for a better way
   before
   profit central
   takes the next dance 
   away from uz 

   ====================
    some 
   fake past 
    rambles 

     its 1825 
   and 
     raising muzzlers
     up by hand 
   and off hand
    as found 
    in say  Dickens 
    and 
    later by Twain
      
    scares the pants off
    most of us 

   so many fresh  souls

    so much thin ice
   so many shivering hearts

    so many raw heads 
   so much
   burning misery 
   so many branded minds

   its all there
    in Dickens
    
   you can find it all
    in one  place
    
   the celebration 
   and 
   condemnation 

   of the Victorian  family

    its all covered 

   and 
   inside petty burger-hauf 
   after
   all these gizmo filled
   years 
   has 
   the guts of the deal 
   really actually 
   changed 
   that much ?
    
   are the Simpsons 
   much different?

   from micawber
    to homer
    what changed
   beyond 
   the appliances and toys ?

    ===========================
    and whats more
     the various 
   public institutions 
   for raw kidhood
   and rotten enderhood
   all also 
    spring to full life 
   already in Dickens


   and 

   they come off
   as worse 
    then nothing
    
   worse
    then  street gang
   life

   like soviet socialism

   ultimately 
   this  first stab
    at 
   totalitarian 
   institutional 
   caring 

    was 
   after 
   one hundred years
   of effort 
   and 
   consideration
    deemed 
   a disaster
   for the young
   but the old and useless
   ------------------------------
   nursing home booms
   -----------------------------
    education goes public 
    insanitation goes
     humane
    prison goes correction 
   ---------------------------
   from Squeers 
   to
   Nurse Ratchet 
   why ?
    
    schools orphanages
   l nut houses
   and prisons 

    etc.we're one quantum leap
   beyond
   the catch as catch can
   evil 
   of 
   step parents
    god parents
    etc etc 
   its the sixties 
   and its 
   time fer
   retro gression
   ================
   the whole
    fairy tale world 
   of ersatz family arrangements 
   are now deemed
    better
    then institutional setups

    shattered families
   counterfeit families 
   surrogate families

     patch and tuck 
    street  gangs 

    theater troops
   all better 

     private and public surrogates 

    through it all 
    the paradigm unchanged

    the nuclear ideal 

   two loving  parents
   and a  multi child 
   household  

   ===================

   THE PROCESS
    HAS ONLY GROWN 
   HUGELY BIGGER 

    120 million American households 
   what %
    fit theBOB CRATCHET  paradigm 
     scrooges black coat clerk 

   progenitor of 
      the great middle range
   of office and showroom jobsters 
    
   kids life 
    their kids life 
   their tiny tims 
   can our reality
   swim up stream
    against the current
    of Dickens’s  ghastly 
   figments
   all come back to life
   all 
   come true 
   in 30 million homes ?

   ===============
   day care once more


    more and more 
   these tiny ones
     are tossed  
    early and often 
   outside 
    the family nexus
   and into
   a day by day 
   holding tank type
    commercial  care factory
    
   de facto
   the socialization of kidcare 
   goes on 

    ever widening 
   and deepening
    
   the commercialization 
   of what once
    were overwhelmingly
    household functions 

   face the reality
   there is no way back there
   from here

   even June
   even 
   Mrs. cleaver
   now jobbles
   40 hours per

   and
    its human  mid range output

   try saying 
    beavis and butt head
   as fast and often as you can 

   those two birds iz all just 
     part and parcel
    of the changes
   two parent
    job hood 
    have let loose
   daily 
   to walk the streets 
     amongst us 
   ==================
   the familly unit
     spreads out
   each member  
   forges on his/her own

     we eat out
    and
    apart much more 

   and of course 
     we job 
   and school out
    and 
   apart 
    much more 

     we play out
   and apart 
   much more

    and

   we  stay    out
   and apart 
   much more
   and 
     much longer 
    and much sooner
   and much later 
    =============
   home as base station zebra


    the kulturekampf
   of the sixties
    created only one
    counter trend 

   nowa days 
    sex without marriage 
   can more or less
    occur under the parental roof
    
   and kids 
   feel no huge push 
   to set up 
   their own households
    as  thirty five 
    years ago 
   we surely did   
   =====================
    most different
    of all 
   these last thirty years 

   we  now as regularly
   as job clocks
   punch in 
   our  smallest  child 
   and feeblest elder
   for 6 hours
    of hired care  

   we’re all findin out
   whether 
   at both ends of life 

    careful hands and hearts
   can  be bought  
   for peanut wages

   ==============================
     with all
   this commercialized 
   caregiving 

   we have 
   produced 
   a sea change
   both 
   socialization 
   and specialization 
   at one sweep 

   and structurally
     it bodes well
    if like eating out 
   we’re getting
    better results 

   but in 
   using 
   the eating model

   by showing
   the superior results
   we get by 
   subbing 
   1,000,000 pro cooks
   for 
    120,000,000 amateur cooks  
    can
    we make
    a solid analogy

    maybe instead 
     mostly updated 
   Squeers and Gamps
    lurk at the other end 
   of the welcome 
   to my house of care  

   what of the money driven
    fear we should 
   all have 
   of  the cheap convenient
   commercial care 
    alternative

    job  working  
   money squeezed 
    households
   need quick results 
   but should they
   make the time to care
    for each others
    blood- persons
   at home

   does personal care 
   end 
   as well as 
   begin at home ?

   -------------------------------------

   the Dickensian waif  
   the Dickensian feckless adult 

     who sees  their ilk 
   in today’s  care shops    
   =====================



   ==================


    atomization
   of the social structure 

      we marry later
    divorce more 
      
    we  produce 
   our off spring  later
     and  less often   

    there are 
      more
    non male/female couple
   based  households

     kids are distributed poorly
   if one is interested
    in the households
    best able to 
    provide the resources
    to”advantage “ them 

    not just  
   in the infernal circus 
   of relative success
   which
    by its very struction 
   demands more 
   losers then winners 

    but
    also
    and far more
    basically 
    in the absolute struggle
    to dig out 
   a route for oneself 
    to something like
    stable  
   contentment
    or at least 
    a path including 
    a fair measure of  happiness 
   ===============================
    todays wagery klass kids
   are 
     day cared
    overwhelmingly 
   by necessity



   the amount of time
   households now 
   outsource
   kid-elder
    care 
   per day 
   per week 
   per month 
   per year
   per childhood
   per decrepitude 

   is 
   ever  growing
    and 
    marching ever onward 
   down
    toward birth itself 

     the complete 
   socialization of socialization
   the 
   socialized care express 
   is 
   now pulling
   into  the station
   nearest you 

   and its arrival 
   means a public  undertaking 
   and responsibility
    to perform 
   these functions
    better then 
   households can   

   there can be no
    surety
    where the choice
    is constrained by 
    household income requirements 
   where parents
    must sell their time 
    on the market 
   to buy the home life
    they hope for

   the homelife
    their
   ever growing job 
   and commute  hours
    are noshing away at 
   year after year after year
    as
   wave after wave after wave
   of new households
   join the transformation

    from home cooked
    personal care
   to factory baked 
    personal  care
