    Written in 1911. This might have made sense back then when there were thousands of factories each with a separate owner, but does this still hold true under late stage capitalism now that all factories have been bought up and operate under the control of fewer than a hundred conglomerates?

        But were talking about owners, not managers. If you yeet a Sackler, a Bezos, a Musk (maybe all three) in minecraft wouldn't that lead to a more interesting reaction than just a police action?

          all three on the same day would send a loud message that you are coordinated and organized enough to be a real threat to the rest of the class

              hehe but if they had those they'd be monetizing them already!

                I'm actually surprised Half Life 2 style manhacks aren't a thing, they LITERALLY have the technology

                wouldn't surprise me if we see them in a decade

                    get really good at baseball, unironically

                    having a good throwing arm will probably be important
