prodigal parenting

9.10: relig/prodigal parenting:

. origin of "(prodigal):

Latin`prodigus: lavish .

Latin`prodigiosus; prodigium: portent (see prodigy ).

Latin`portentum: omen, token; portendere.verb (see portend ).

Latin`portendere; pro-: forth + tendere: stretch.

. the industrial parents both worked in a factory;

they wanted to earn all the things that factories can provide!

. what pay is there in parenting?

we want our pay now!

. thus, the industrials would let their children run wild,

having them watched by the ambitionless,

rather than engaged by the tutors .

. then when it came time for the children to watch the elders;

many of them just didn't get it .

. the prodigal parents came begging to society:

will you build more prisons for my feral children ?

. more institutions for my elders ?

. oh Lord, Jesus Christ,

nothing is more precious than these children .

. as part of the huge pork bar-b-q

to welcome back the industrial family,

they had a team of psychologists look into

what happened to the children:

. it wasn't just that they didn't want to work;

without a history of sociability and performance,

no one trusted them to work .

. those few who would hire them were wolves,

saying:

"(

. we don't have the money to do this job safely,

thank goodness, the industrials are expendable .

. every day our technologies are replacing more jobs,

and yet they keep having more ferals .

. there are so many of the poor, untrusted ones;

all we need is a few friends to work with .

. if only there were too few workers

the working conditions would certainly improve then:

it would be a worker's market then .

) .

. [12.21: ever since ? wars have always propped up economic systems:

[/][even with] industrial times,]

they used wars to prop up their economy:

"(

. there's just no work for the industrials;

but we do have a war [12.21: to win;

for the ferals are desperate,

and it's a good time to fight ... in mYour backyard .]

) .

8.8: co.apt/pol/jobs lost:

. imagine this is a thousand years ago;

you see we are such nothing,

struggling with service jobs, not sure of our fate .

. our forefathers' knowledge lost to

a trust that the industrials will employ us .

8.13: rn.pol/walmart revolution unsustainable:

. Walmart's revolution is considered unsustainable

because it relies too much on lowering wages

while many things needed by those earners

can't be sold by low cost walmart;

so their employees get cheated for the good of the others .

. their main money-saving was not stopping shoplifters,

but rather transforming the distribution system

by which goods are taken from various producers

and given to particular consumer outlets .

. many jobbers and other middlemen were eliminated .

8.19: co.apt/pol/what they mean by family values:

. look how the wars stopped chewing on the extra population;

now they check over-pop' by making laws about no car-camping, etc,

there's no place safe to go unless you have a submarine .

. if you don't have a sure job or a family to bunk with,

you're in big trouble .

10.9: pol/reasons for incarceration in usa and russia?:

. what russia and usa have in common in order to be

by far the largest incarcerators

is having a system that disrupts

local communities as law enforcers

by obviating the need for local support

either by having support doled out by the welfare state

or by the promise of new jobs around the corner .

co.apt/pol/platitudes for a delusional constituency:

. obama is sneered at for giving white-lie platitudes?

he has to give platitudes,

because his main constituency (the poor)

doesn't want to hear about being reasonable

(and letting the rich have the kids) .

. in fact, the poor -- to which is speaking mostly to --

have actually taken the nuclear option,

deciding to deliberately use over-population

to build their democratic power by brute numbers

(even if it means crying for virtual communism or abusing their kids) .

10.23: co.apt/pol/pop-controller should be saved wealth:

. co.pol/rn"neil.bortz

has berated an uneducated construction worker

for having 4 kids when money good

but job can't last in hard times?

. in fact, you shouldn't depend on education either!

. women should trust neither income nor edu'

but in savings:

find the older man who's done being a shark

with time to father ...

[12.29: at least if communal parenting is not an option .]

10.28: co.apt/pol/the good points among the economic classes:

. where I agree with the wealthy class

is that you can't have a welfare state

without also mandating a democratic control of reproduction

to put some limit on

how many people we need to find jobs or lunches for .

. however,

one pro-labor move I'd insist on

is keeping the wealthy from taking our jobs

-- and what liars:

Bush was regurgatating their blue pill:

"( greencarders take only those jobs

that americans don't want )

. actually the employers don't advertize those jobs

because they are already hooked up with greencarders

who cost them much less to employ by not being citizens

so that they pay no {unempl, ss, medicare } taxes

as they would for employing citizens .

11.7: pol/real economic growth:

. so much of a "(healthy growing economy) is just such fluff;

making so much junk is what causes

such shifts in buying patterns

as to cause upwards of 25% unemployment .

. if depending on capitalism

then market corrections are inevitably going to create

the same feast-famine cycles

we take as so much bible-old .

. what family values really need to be

is home class values:

. just as a successful business has a mix of products

for selling in both boom and bust,

home communes are based on farms

with back to farm for bad times .

. instead of owning your home,

you do have stock in a farm,

and if there are no vacancies in farmable communes,

you call that situation an overpopulation problem .

11.18: co.net/twitter/pol/UN Climate Petition:

#pol Sign the UN Climate Petition |

real hope is population reduction

http://hopenhagen.org

11.21: pol/making smooth transition to the age of automation:

. use gov funds to buy stock in labor saving tech

so even as jobs are being reduced,

incomes are being increased

and acting a 2nd source of income to fall back on

for those who lose jobs to robots .

. then, use taxes and bonuses of this money to reduce population;

ie, everyone gets a check for being a stock owner,

but people with more kids get a smaller check .

11.26: co.apt/pol/communes for traffic reduction:

. if we lived in communes like the tv.show" the walton's

-- seems unamerican doesn't it? --

then we could have groups conserve on driving

by specialize a few members as shared drivers

to reduce the need to give licenses to people on meds .

[and reduce traffic generally ] .

11.26: co.self/pol/overpopulation inflates rents:

. caring for the disabled and other unemployed's

would not be so costly if family values were stronger

such that it was taboo not to invite unemployed relative to share housing .

. we could then reduce pay-outs

to just a person's grocery needs (food stamps) .

. the $800 size typical of today's rents

is not due to the actual costs of maintaining the property

but a sheer function of market demand:

. capitalists are getting what they can from the market

asking not what it costs for me to be mgt,

but how much more can I get from the market after evicting you .

. that's why the soviet's major act was evicting landowners;

most were using their property to charge rent

for housing the state's people [and their productions]

[. likely a few rich owned all the land,

not like the american dream where the realty lots are so tiny

that one owner is mgt for one rental unit .]

12.30: pol/prodigal walmart:

. walmart is sustainable if they

let employees do dry docking in their parking lot

(as they are often graciously allowing rv'ing customers) .

. free rent like that

is removing half the inflation gouge in usa .

. walmart may still have a problem with forced overtime,

...

and they could have a problem with local authorities:

our idea of a living wage (if not a family wage)

does not include letting people camp in public! .
