"Labor is prior to..."

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

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

got to go

and

juggle my finances
