Before COVID I had thought that I understood, but I hadn’t yet: nine-tenths of plausibly white plausibly middle-class Americans are not fully human and have nothing behind the eyes and no great loss would be had were they to die in the dirt like dogs. AFFIRM: I will do as little work as humanly possible for as much money as humanly possible; I will do my very best to parasitize Corporate America to dust; I will shirk, duck, dodge, evade, and avoid military service; I will passively undermine the bizarre many-colored menagerie; I will do my part to ensure that the Babylonian monstrosity of usury and lies slowly grinds to a halt; and I will not feel even the slightest bit guilty for any of this.

Our install coordinators are now in the…cash collection for overdue accounts business. No, that’s not normally their job. And no, the normal bill collectors couldn’t do the install coordinators job either. If they could they’d be the install coordinators. It requires some technical skill.

Noticing since COVID the half of the Western World that was working — defined as getting things done — seems to have dramatically shrunk. It’s not just a lot of people retired, it’s all ages.

Further while I am generally bullish on the young, a lot of young people working…seem to think it’s an extension of college where you just show up…sometimes…

The machine is definitely slowing down as EM Forster predicted and may soon stop.

Apparently, you can’t destroy the social and political and constitutional and economic contracts and values and the churches and dramatically erode the family and and…

And expect the machine to keep running.

A smaller and ever shrinking pool of competent people, in all modesty I am one, are keeping things limping along at a late stage Soviet Union pace.

Stores fail or switch franchisor and meanwhile the central kitchen is pushing for more outlets because that’s the only way they can report growth. AND the new store squad needs to maintain their high levels of expertise by continuing to open new stores.
