  • I didn’t even bother to look it up at the time (I was not a good journalist) but the President of the organization running it, Jack DuVall, was a former US Air Force officer with a deeply swampy resume. He was a Washington creature through and through, funded by a Wall Street insider trader, Peter Ackerman. It was real cabal shit, and I casually strolled into it, basically because I was bored and curious.

    Funny how the same names keep coming up.

    I don’t see it as lesser. I just see it as I described. Yes I could do it for a couple or three hours daily, but if it’s paying my necessary expenses at that level, it means it’s already unnecessary, unless I’m missing something.

    At that point, why not just automate everything that can be, and let people persue more fulfilling work, for lux life? Money is really an arbitrary thing, survival isn’t dependent on it other than bad actors hoarding it and the power it affords. Beyond that, let people paint, cook, create clothing, transportation, pottery, tea rituals, whatever to fulfill higher level needs?

    Failing that, sure.

    That’s the issue, for me. Mind-numbingly boring. Plus concrete slab standing is whole body punishment, especially combined with looking down all day. Ford gave USians the assembly line, before workers were connected to the whole production process.The best experience I had in factories was repair, because then I had to go various places in the factory so I could not only see how individual components fit together but also understand why. Next was QA. BTW sewing or cutting various materials all day is also horrible for the body.

    Maybe people could be cross trained and offered the opportunity to work position A for a month, position B another month, position C the next and so on.
