  1. 45:30 Come on, TIK; tell us how you REALLY feel! Hehehe A comment, if you don't mind: one can't go live in the woods. All the local property is privately owned and trespassing is a crime. Can't walk along state or interstate highways to go anywhere, because of the laws. And police, primed to look for vagrants crossing state lines, are more than likely to turn you back. Zero opportunity. That's what wage slavery is. It's not capitalism; it's the modern iteration of the manorial system.

  2. In times past, plagues acted to better enfranchise workers and promote mobility (by killing them off-don't you just love history?). This weakened the manorial system, to be sure, and opened partial control of manufacturing resources to towns, guilds, and other entities you might well term corporations*. *Which brought bored or failing manorial lords into towns, where they then took up influential positions in these "corporations" until they became the policy makers. De facto owners. Landed gentry FTW! So, no, it's not capitalism. It's Oligarchic fought economic warfare all taking place under the benign neglect of a de facto nobility also made up of landed money. The landed nobility always rules. The only thing that changes is the pomp and circumstance. The workers are cared about exactly like they were in France before le revolution. And after it. For the same sound economic reasons . . . from the ruling perspective. When capitalism works, every job offered (by wise, caring, employers grown savvy through experience) pays a living wage. You know: supports an apartment, utilities, a phone, a car, triple play for the big screen TV, the console or PC's internet; the products society assigns subjective value to. The products society judges you by. Since that hasn't happened (now or ever) capitalism is not a good thing for the workers who support its owners with their compensated work. Attaining a higher paying skillset means nothing when the number of such jobs offered is not up to the supply. Do I think other systems work better? No. I firmly believe that the systems are all the same, that the level of humanitarian influences that a nation's landed gentry are exposed to defines worker treatment.
