One needn’t own land or equipment to start one’s own business. have you head of the service sector. There’s a trade off people make: do I want to start my own business, including doing freelance work, or work for someone else. Both have advantages and disadvantages. as far as extracting sweat from the back of another, people have and can extract sweat from my back because I CHOOSE to enter in that agreement. If I find it a net benefit to me, I’ll accept the arrangement. If not, I won’t, and either look for another employer or try to start my own business. You realize that people do this every day, right?
This is where you go off the rails. A slave relationship is not similar to an employer-employee relationship. If you think it is you have zero grasp of what it means to be a slave. Particularly of the chattel variety that was found in the U.S.
Well, thats a bit extreme. I think Terr is imply7ing that you could kick out a handful of troublemakers at each school and noticably improve the educational environment.
This is not a novel idea and it has worked in other countries. Of course you end up giving up on some kids while they are still very young and the kids that get put on the “lets just keep them out of jail” category are overwhelmingly the children of the poor and once you are in that category, its pretty hard to get back out BUT, it does make a significant difference for the rest of the kids. So how many kids are you willing to throw under the bus to grease the axle so taht the other kids can make it further?
Some troublesome kids can be salvaged. Others, presumably, cannot, and are destined for one of our nations many fine penal institutions, where a troublesome and antisocial kid can be transformed, with care and training, into a full blown sociopath.
But fifteen, sixteen? A little early to be written off.
I haven’t heard of a single job which didn’t require materials of some sort. Land or equipment.
The anarchist/anarchosyndicalist position is that your choice is hindered in making such a decision when rent and property are endemic. You don’t have the option between surviving on the land and performing wage labour for a master, you have the option of performing one or another job for wages.
Edit: Oh, elucidator, I was just reading this. Was fascinating.
And perhaps the lawyers said to him, “If you allow you opponents unopposed access to the media, they will shape the narrative and public opinion of this criminal investigation, which will hurt any trial chances and may in fact give rise to a trial even if there is no evidence of wrongdoing.”
Question for you: was the use of that money for that purpose illegal?
Last I read, the Walker people were putting it under the broad umbrella of legal fees. Kind of like a lawyer proclaiming his client’s innocence on the steps of the courthouse.
If purely public relations, it might be illegal. Probably a nitpick, if so.
At this point Walker has used up most of the funds he transferred out of his election campaign so he may be transferring more.
