asciilifeform begins to grasp what mircea_popescu was trying to hammer into his thick head the other day.
mircea_popescu: so they just hire the scum, and hope and pray. and hey, if the customers are displeased what ever the fuck, it's "best business practices", ie, "all the other shops intown are hiring from the same group of perambulating monkeys. you want these shoes or not ?"

kakobrekla: i have been using xylitol instead of the usual sugars lately and i am still kicking

jurov: adlai it's the addiction that enables accumulation of capital and its use in business
adlai: i'm not sure the thing being fueled here is capitalism. i want to say consumerism, but it seems more towards consumptionism, packaged and sold to the consumer as consumerism

jurov: and then invent expensive 'solutions' to side effects
adlai: too much money, too much sucrose... so we blaze across the petri dish, gobbling up agar until we smack into plastic

thestringpuller: invest in the present not the future?
mircea_popescu: i dunno how to put it more plainly, nor does it seem likely the effort's not wasted.
mircea_popescu: let me give you a pro tip : pretty much all women i currently own were involved in a relationship when we met. two thirds of them were involved in a relationship with a dude who "can't X until Y".
mircea_popescu: this is the whole story.
mircea_popescu: this is fundamental. if we, for whatever value of "we" you wish to choose, can not and do not transplant one on the other, we will have failed.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: if you buy a boat and wanna start pulling own fiber across the sea, sign me up.
mircea_popescu: but whether it occurs natrually or not, IT MUST BE DONE
mircea_popescu: it is plain as day to me that there exists no natural occurence of "we'll just on our own power take this from there and this from here".
mircea_popescu: you also have the retarded kids, working outside of the west, but ALSO outside of the actual work ethic of the west.
mircea_popescu: it's that the market is very sharply divided : you have the actual professionals, part of an actually professional tradition. these are, without exception, white men living in the west. and consequently they suffer from the mental diseases incumbent on watching too much dead empire tv.
jurov: this means i'm not qualified, either
jurov: all i know such thing does not exist anymore. either you use cloudflare, or become cloudflare, or suffer.
ascii_field will leave the subject alone, to qualified sorcerers, e.g., jurov
