i spent last week
de-constructing a building
felt good
made seven dollars and
twenty-five cents per
hour
minimum wage
later
i went to the apartment complex
and said i wanted to rent
an apartment
i showed them my money
they said i only had forty seven percent
of the money i needed
then i went to the used car place
and thought i might up-grade my
twenty one year old car
i showed them my money
they said i only had
forty seven percent of the needed funds
and so it goes
on and on and on
i have noticed most economists
dont work at labor jobs
and they have advanced college degrees
i saw a copy of
das capital
once
that means
the money
and realized it was too big to
read comfortably
thoreau said one should
keep ones finances on ones thumbnail
the same might be said of ones
economic systems
i looked up the meaning of
proletariat
a few months ago
it means
the worker
he should have just said
the worker
i went to harvard and mit in massachusetts
just went to see the peabody museum
and take a picture of the henry moore sculpture
also went to u c berkley
but i went to see the etchings of
hogarth
the rakes progress
very nice
i like rakes
progressive and otherwise
i noticed some colorful paintings
in a room
and asked if i might view them
they were by
hans hoffman
the exhibit was closed
but they let me in anyhow
very nice work
not too rakish
i also went to stanford
just to use the library
non student could use the library
two times a year
i looked at the mineral collection
and tried to check out
some maps on a cd
they asked me if i had a
rather expensive software package
to view the cd s
and i said i did not
but my friend who works for
the map company does
they snatched the maps back
and said
i could not have them
because he might steal them
he might at that
but they are still a nice library
after being on all those campuses
i was still not inspired to write
a thick book
some people wallow around
in not having money
and
some people wallow around
in having money
generally speaking there seems to be
a lot of
wallowing around
most people dont seem to use
the money they have
very well
spending money is an acquired
skill
like
rock climbing
i dont think the way wealth is
dis-tributed is fair
but change is very difficult
and painful for a lot of folks
"One of the greatest pains to human nature
is the pain of a new idea." Walter Bagehot
"Physics and politics"
Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration. Abraham Lincoln
