Ben LopatinSaw this thread earlier and thought, “this guy should do a book”. Then remembered “oh he is”. Then recalled I did in fact pre-order. Hoping I forget again so it’s a like a nice little surprise when it comes out.

Nicole ParsonsPeople watch shows like Downton Abbey or others about the aristocracy & monarchy.
They ignore that domestic servants worked over 12 hours a day and retired in poverty. No job security. No health care. Targets of abuse, sexual harassment, or exploitation. Very few were cared for in old age by their employers.
Employers are astonished that no one willingly takes jobs with these working conditions.
The leisure class of the first Gilded Age used the same narratives

As much American freedom from monarchy gets extolled, the fact remains that as a culture we crave monarchy. Or at least royalty.
The news shows come to a standstill when an inbred weds or gets crowned king. All our fairy tales are about princes and princesses.
How great it is to aspire to be Cinderella! *Saved* by a charming prince, to be *served* by ... er, servants.
Look at this liberal enclave:

PeteI think what Trump supporters don't understand, is, America had a great manufacturing industry following WWII because their factories hadn't been destroyed. It took Europe, Japan, and China decades to rebuild and recover. Only in the 1970s did it become apparent that Japan was going to eat America's breakfast in terms of cars and electronics.
The only way to make America "great" again (as a manufacturer), is to destroy India, China, Japan, and Germany through military conflict.

Matt TearlePeople only want to work *in exchange for something*??? Oh no! What is the world coming to? Gone are The Good Olde Dayes when people definitely fixed your car for fun and assembled dishwashers for the joy of it and wrote up loan contracts because it just filled them with a warm glow.
