Newsflash: Work Sucks?! (Score 1)

The history of civilization up to this point has been those in power making those without power do their work. To that extent, work has *always* sucked, whether it be sweat shops, or kids working in mines, or union-busting hired guns, or the braindrain monotony of an office job -- no matter what, the worker will spend most of their life working to make money for someone else while barely being able to pay their own bills.

The new generation of IT/network kids like us can't complain about the money issue. I personally sell what I know from my hobby (no school) and so I've just lucked out.

Personally, I think the whining Dilberts of the world should quit crying and realize that their complacent, obedient cubicle-dwelling selves provide the main stability for a corporate structure that is just annoying and boring and mind-numbing to them: meanwhile, the janitor, or person working in the shop, or the person shovelling the sidewalks can't afford to pay their bills, or get medical insurance, or anything. In other words, what is annoying to Dilbert is near life-threatening for everyone "under" him.

Want to end this shit? Me too. I want an open source world where voluntary associations replace the boss-worker scheme, where whoever chips in gets an equal share back.

Ah, but the hell with that. 1999 is the year for open source start-ups, I hear.
