ECOSOCIALISMO - L'ozio al tempo del capitalismo
Di Carolina Gregori
Nel lessico del capitalismo contemporaneo esiste una parola impronunciabile, sospetta, quasi oscena: ozio. Non perché significhi inerzia o passività, ma perché indica ciò che il capitalismo non può tollerare: tempo sottratto alla produttività, tempo non immediatamente valorizzabile, tempo che non deve giustificarsi, tempo che non si piega alla logica del profitto.

On our first Apple II computer at home, there was a program called "Applevision", that my brother and I just called "Dancing Man". It blew us away then, and fills me with nostalgia now.

I didn't realize that Swiss trains apparently also adhere to the "schedule for 80% of capacity rule".

Apparently trains in Switzerland go around 80% of the top speed possible on the track. The 20% overhead is used to make up time in the case of delays.

The thinking is: stable and predictable operation is more important than going faster. Because the cost of passengers regularly missing layovers is much higher than the benefits of trains being 20% faster.
