  • Imagine preparing a group presentation for class. One designs the slides and illustrations, one does research, one some hands-on stuff, and one coordinates, plans and manages the group.

    The presentation is a success. But the one who managed got the best grade, while the others got medium or bad grades.

    Doesn’t seem fair, or does it?

    This is capitalism in its current form.

    Everyone contributes to the success of the project, company, institution. Everyone depends on each other for it, so the value of labour is rather evenly distributed. But for some arbitrary reason, those at the top just skim the profits that is generated by those beneath them, instead of distributing fairly.

    There are companies that do it differently. With success. For example, https://www.wired.com/story/safetywing-remote-work-equal-salaries/

    Let’s keep aiming for this change.



  • I would prefer that, yes. Also I would do that occasionally and not constantly.

    Furthermore, if they suddenly go silent, then I know what’s up and that it’s my fault for not charging before. But that is fine, because I am quite good at keeping the tech charged and ready that I use daily. I would prefer it much more for them to suddenly shut down than to annoy me for 3 hours that battery has reached less than 30%. Really infuriating especially with audiobooks.
