Comment Re:Capital vs Labour - They're made out of meat. (Score 2) 531
Above comment is simplistic to the point of being deceptive. Twitty $ Grubbers like that forget what civilization is actually about. Lowering labour costs when the required cost of living is higher is a problem and not an end goal worthy of being sought. Capital doesn't care if it is unused, but unused people crash pretty fast, and civil society shortly thereafter. Politicians delegate money for infrastructure. To quote Naheed Nenshi a Mayor of Calgary: "snow removal isn't a right wing or left wing issue." Capitalism seeks the excess benefits for profit while unfairly leveraging the mutil-millenial lineage of human knowledge that brought their enterprise to bear fruit. Its ours, fuck off.
