 XPost: soc.culture.usa, alt.politics.usa, talk.politics.theory XPost: soc.rights.human, alt.politics.usa.misc From: Intelligent@savetheworldmsn.com Selling Contagious Poison, As Food And Recreation, Is My Big Question To America Consumers are not even warned? Employees are not even informed the job is to get COVID? Waiters don't produce equity. After the service is over there is nothing to show for it. Rather than "Non-Essential Services," "Commercial Entertainment Services" should be eliminated. People TOIL for others entertainment, and amusement? Work is CREATED this way? We let people take this big risk for entertainment which doesn't create any equity? At least people in a movie, create a movie we have for 100 years. "Commercial Entertainment Services:" I am talking about Broadway, Circuses, Vegas Shows, The Opera, Waiters, and Whores. If there is a substitute product, such as take-out for dine-in, then total prohibition may be alright. We should endeavor to not create an illegal market, but whores don't produce anything. Sex and property are the mountain between us. So the lack of a substitute product seems to go to just whores, and I'm not saying we should or shouldn't have them, but I don't agree with punishment. Health Clubs are not even close to the same basket as "Commercial Entertainment Services." Then there's haircuts, pedicures, and gardeners. The work they provide doesn't last for long. I think I may never hire another waiter in my life. That's not the sort of job I like to provide. I understand the Restaurant industry is huge. It is also apparently a huge waste. Do you want to finance more kitchens for quality take-out, or more Restaurants? We can only spend so much, and we don't have property at the bottom. Waiters, rather, should be producing equity, or going to school for free. Waiters could be allowed to spend the same without working, and it wouldn't do anything at all to the economy, people would just not 'enjoy' waiters. The governments would pull poisonous lettuce off the shelves, but there would be other lettuce for sale. They pulled Tryptophan, which killed several people, off the shelves for ten years, without a substitute product; do you think that was wrong? COVID is not just poisonous food for sale at Restaurants; COVID is contagious poisonous food for sale at restaurants. The government prohibits poisonous drugs to be sold as recreational party-fun. COVID is not just poison sold as recreational party-fun; COVID is contagious poison sold as recreational party-fun. Selling contagious poison, as food and recreation, is my big question to America. And taking such a big health risk, for entertainment, which doesn't produce any equity. But actually my question is why have such "Commercial Entertainment Services" work, allowed in the first place. That's what we want to trade? So the waiter can go out to eat, if there ever is a post-COVID? It's not going to make us rich. Instead he could produce, and buy, a nicer dinning room table. Rather than endless toil. (And porn-stars, unlike whores, yet like a table producer, and like a movie star, produce a product. Still, the general principle of employment law, is the work ought not be unnecessarily dangerous, unnecessarily unsanitary, unnecessarily injurious, nor unnecessarily painful. So, as to professional sports, they only sort of produce a product. I doubt they'll start playing flag football in place of NFL, or get rid of boxing anytime soon, but the purpose of Ultimate Fighting was supposedly to figure out which martial art works best; and have they figured that out?, and do we really need Ultimate Fighting? They can keep the bull-fighting in Mexico, or else we'll have dog fighting and cock fighting and other such stuff soon here. (Animal cruelty, is not a legal persuasion.) And yet these Sports barely produce a product, too; like you watch reruns of the NFL or Olympics much. If you want to play High School for free, or intramural, that's another matter. But the two issues are: employed to commit self-harm; and, working for other's amusement producing no equity.) Making salaries more equitable, could be another way to address the matter. Based on the above, you couldn't ever have a servant for a Birthday party, nor a Wedding. Yet still, do you need one? But having to pay more equitably, that is every person more equal consumption, for an hour worked; could mean not frivolously employing a waiter, vs. not paying an NFL star to risk his life. While we all need to hold equity and savings, we could all consume the same, but some person owns the Empire State Building. But even with slave labor, Waiters don't build the economy, and a lot of what is going on right now *is* about building the economy. At least slaves would build real equity. Waiters will not. So while one way of solving the problem could be paying more equal consumption per hour worked, thus we would not frivolously employ, nor compel risk taking, for pay, nor high pay, we do need, at the same time, to hold capital savings in private hands. All the above said; working to commit the self harm of risking COVID, and building no equity, while doing so, both at the same time, is really the big issue here. There's no argument in my mind that it's ludicrous. Even so, people need jobs, but it would be/should be, COVID that put them out of a job, but I guess people merely take risks for money, which is serious, when they have no other option. It's more the fruits of our Capital, that produces, than our labor. Maybe ex-waiters, and the like, should just have free cash to spend, to a degree. With still more incentive than that, to earn, as we need to finance Capital and Intellectual Capital - School, to make the Country yet wealthier.... Perhaps money if you're trying to get to School, or are going to school. The Macro-Economy is at stake here. A movie theater can be run by a few people, serving hundreds. And let's not confuse Commercial Entertainment *Services*, with Commercial Entertainment *Capital*. We do want Big Screen T.V.'s right? For if we went to prohibiting Capital, it could be anything... from Children's Toys to Christmas Trees. Anything that you enjoy. Still, jewelry made out of Gold is a colossal waste. People die mining Gold all day. Costume jewelry may be a sufficient substitute product. (In Russia, the waste of the likes of the Faberge Eggs - extremely expensive art - contributed the Russian civil war, and over half a century of Marxist Communism, [continued in next message] --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05 * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2) |
