The Holocaust Is History — 9 to 5 Was A Compromise Against Violence
WE NEED A NEW NORTHERN STAR
We all know it.
A 9 to 5 is
Safe
Predictable
A potential career
A 9 to 5 can be
Fun
A social environment
A reason to get up in the morning
A 9 to 5 is also
An excuse to tell the CPS why your radio is on 11 two nights a week.
…but the eight hour work day wasn´t made for 2025..
After 1.000 applications, after struggling with the individual temp agency-apps for years, after researching all kinds of avenues, only to realize there were 700 applicants for most jobs, and I had no bachelor-degrees (practically nobody does trainee-programs anymore), I realized I was not following the right northern star. In my mind, I was building a CV, but I should have been researching and building a skill set, even if it meant cutting off all contact with 9 to 5ers — even if I wanted a 9 to 5-job.
The One Shot-Academia
In Norway, tuition is free.
Everything else … isn´t. Not even the books.
Yes, you can go and enroll for practically nothing, but what about
Food
Shelter
A social life
Rest
Recreation
It´s a fricking concentration camp, is what it is, because the meagre stipend, and the loan everybody can get (once at a time), don´t allow you to live like a human being — it´s as if the rates have been frozen for 30 years, in comparison with the rest of the economy, so
you can only do it if you are young (and strong), or old,
and that makes us ponder this question:
Einstein made a fund in 1944, raising 100s of 1.000s of $s to “guard the atom”.
What he had in mind was making sure not just anybody could have the where-with-all to put a bomb together and fly it to your house on a drone, and you sort of see where he was coming from, without making a frivolous association to our own time?
The point is;
In academia, a wall was put up around calculus, making sure (almost) nobody learns it before university.
People often say; “If people understood the financial system, there would be a rebellion tomorrow”.
This is what they´re talking about. If you understand derivatives, and if you know which safe havens are good to shift your money around in and … when.. You don´t have to work, provided you have a solid foundation to start from.
A New Northern Star
Well, that was a small tangent from the main point in this article, but stay with me.
If you have a 9 to 5, you can save up money that people who don´t have a 9 to 5 can´t. Even if you are a mildly successful drug dealer, it´s just not realistic.
This creates class division. Why? Anybody can do this, after all? Right? …and it´s perfectly legal, and even encouraged — right?
I hate to use words twice over in rapid succession, but there´s a triple even here;
even if you do have money to save, you still need to learn about sound money and _trust_ in your knowledge of derivates (i.e. calculus), as well as follow politics.
In short, when people say liberals, they are talking about people who know all of this stuff, because those people can run circles around you in this discussion. …and they don´t choose based on ethics, but … morality.
What I´m trying to say is;
9 to 5 has a kernel of hard core people — people who worked hard to gain a foothold in this universe here, and, therefore, will support just about anybody to guard their golden egg, because — the richest companies are the safest investments, in terms of ABC-finance for the huddled masses.
People say put your money in gold. Well, OK, that´s relatively safe, but then you get a Nixon all of a sudden, and we´re back to putting fiat on a pedestal. Have to pay attention. Also, property is said to be a safe investment, but — you have wars in the world, and we also get depressions, both of which make big bites into hedge funds that focus on property, and that affects the price you can take on your own, personal rental property.
Now, you can say what you want about … the bourgeoisie, which is certainly not an improper term for the concept, the kind of people we just talked about, but; the people who are just taddling along and making a lot of savings just by following the movements, they
- Don´t know anything about the S&P500-companies they support
- They wouldn´t change the system if they could, or they would lose their money-making opportunity, even if it is, technically, freeloading and supporting people who gamble, speculate and call for wars in the Middle East
The point I´m trying to make is that this is exactly what was causing trouble in the 1920s, because there were so many investment opportunities that were so blatantly obvious, like the automobile, or radio, or what have you, that money was taken out of circulation.
Completely ordinary people put all their money on a one way-ticket, and then … jumped off the roof of the NYSE..
Yeah..
Meanwhile, they had a bloody revolution in Russia, which went straight from Feudalism to Capitalism, without any kind of Modernism in between.
9 To 5 Was A Compromise Against Violence
People realized that the people who knew math, and that could reorganize this Brave New World, with handheld cameras, and typewriters, and.. So many things (the move away from horse and cart should not be under estimated) … people realized that we had a Jewish Problem, to very blunt about it, because the People of the Book, the Court Jews of Rome — the Black Nobility — I could go all day, but let´s just put it like this;
The servile class, the very upper upper middle class was almost non-existant in the early 1900s.
Why? Because the governments were broke, because the nobles were busy with their technological toys, and for a whole slew of other reasons that had to do with escaping the mind set in and around chain slavery.
…and that´s where we are today. Our upper class is tiny, the middle class is absolutely enormous, and workers don´t have choices about where they can work, so we don´t really have a working class, with pride and traditions (factories of course play a part in this too, but..).
So.. To me, it only makes sense to have a #6HRWD — a Six Hour Work Day.
- More jobs
- Time to think, and reorganize
- The room to allow people to move to places where they want to live
Why do I say that last part?
Because local production is the only thing that will drive down property prices.
Think about it.
A container with Nikes that has 80% air in it, and comes from China … that´s just insane.
If we have local supply chains, agentures (middle men-shops), and _trade schools_, we will stop importing cheap labour, and start wars, when the interest rates go up, because the government is broke.
…and that´s all she wrote.
