Let's actually here it for what has improved our standard of living -- CAPITAL and capitalism, not labor.
I know it's a sarcastic joke designed to suck us in.
Because Jes,
If you ever wiped your ass ... without having someone else do it for you ...
you're labor. Not Capital.
The idea is to pretend you are what you are never going to be.
Somewhere in a dream is that corporate jet off to Tahiti ...
but then reality strikes ...
in an office complex in Tennessee ... you are a bean counter ...
and the guys on that jet going to Tahiti ... are the guys that took your pay raise ...
to pay for them going to Tahiti.
You will however defend them to the death ... because you don't know what else to do.
BUT ... You are becoming aware ... or else you wouldn't be on this board.
