The Flat Earth Society *calls* it a fact, yes. Is it an actual fact though?

When one person suffers from a delusion, it is called insanity. When many people suffer from a delusion, it is called a fact.

".. just DRM for made up money .."

I've never read it describe that way, thanks.

No one in their right mind would trust FB by now. It's not much more than a time waster and an avenue to a "gotcha".

In business, if the opportunity to use FB in a purposeful manner that would further goals, then maybe cautiously crafted use of the thing. But even there, I'd venture it is best to generally avoid the it.

And I'm quite content with that.

It's ag'in the law, not my problem.

Just put facebook dot com and all Facebook's related snitch domains that track people all over the Internet - you can find the rather long list online - into your hosts file pointed to 0.0.0.0 and be done with them.

"I'd be an idiot to not assume financial ruin."

Yes, you would be. A pre-nup is nearly a must in this day and age.

While this is over the top and probably would have done it, my 'truth is stranger than fiction' moment was when I found out all that stuff on the Internet about the banksters really was true.e.g. almost all the money is really just evidence of interest bearing debt i.e. there is no money, just debt.

I don't care how liberal minded you think you are, nor how repressed you think I am, I just don't want to see it, thank you very much.

Funny, but poignant.

"Unless Zuckerberg wants to browse the actual photos." He probably already does.

Sad, really.

.. I was born into. Times really have changed. Funnily enough for by now, I would have ventured personal space travel and flying cars, the preemption of revenge porn never crossed my mind.

1. "Your employees will do their best work when they want to work, not when they have to work. "

That would depend on the calibre of the employees' attitudes, and the work environment and culture.

So while your statement may be true, the thing is, many of them will not want to. Many people will slack to near zero if left to their own. The coffee maker won't even get cleaned. Not everyone of course, some are enthusiastic self motivators. But many in the workplace will slack to zero given the opportunity.

So if you sit and wait until they actually want to do their best work for you, you will be waiting a long long time.


2. "What are you doing to assure they want to come back the next day and continue working for you?"

Usually the employers provide them with whatever passes for local currency, plus maybe dental. At most shops this works like some sort of talisman. 'Natch the self-motivators tend to already be doing just what it is they want to, but for many of the rest it will be the only reason they ever considered employment in the first place.
