Serious question. I was under the impression that all the people trafficked were girls. But there’s a man raising his hand. Did Epstein also traffick boys? If so, I did not know that.

I had a shit job in high school. This led me to think all jobs suck, bosses are cruel and out of touch and the corporate system doesn’t give a shit about you. I didn’t work harder at school and every entry level job I took as I progressed my education continued to, in part, reaffirm this early and naive conclusion.

This quote is just a general failure in reasoning and imagination. It has a view of work and teenagers that is just true enough that they can quickly look at it and feel alright about thinking this way. But anyone who spends any time with either knows how weird and complicated both can be.

Capitalism, (needlessly) increases competition for resources, access to markets, and even results in fierce competition over abstract things.

Because there is an increased competition for resources, resource hoarding increases as well. Managed release of those resources along with who deserves access to those resources is a political endeavor. Not at the level of the state, but when you end up having a laissiz-faire system, there is no state to prevent hoarding of necessities. And now a situation can emerge where one company hoards a necessary resource and manages its release to some and not others. They will have become the state.

They missed these things to become managers and bosses. The nominal increase in pay was so that they could secure a decent retirement and put their kids through college. One day, they hope their kids can do the same while at the same time telling them they shouldn’t.
