"The previous availability of labour in China meant you could de-automate industrial processes and turn cheap workers into machines," “Every worker is a labour lawyer by himself. They know their rights better than my HR officer.” Harley Seyedin, president of American Chamber of Commerce of South China, said: “There are Internet cafes everywhere, so the workers can get information. They are starting to ask for more. The days of cheap labour are gone.”

Founding member Howlett laughed as he told BBC 6 Music, "I think we should have been nominated this year", for the band's fifth album, Invaders Must Die.
'Rip it to pieces'
He added that the Mercury Prize should make more effort to include dance music in its shortlist "because that's the type of music that stirs up the emotion".

Frontman Keith Flint was less forthcoming with his comments.
"There's a few things that I'm thinking of that I could try and get controversial with, but I'm not going to give that the time," he said.
"I think what's more important to The Prodigy is that, whatever number your album goes in at, or the single, or however many plays it gets, or doesn't get, or awards you get, or don't get; our reward, as a band, is to write the best album we can and then go to Download [festival] and rip it to pieces," he explained.
Taken as a group, their careers are a mix of self-serving self-puffery, efforts to co-opt grass-roots enthusiasm for a commercial or political agenda, and, yes, genuine efforts to expose wrongdoing and to better people's lives.
Blair at Chilcot Inquiry
Sunday, 31 January 2010 at 01:05 am (UTC)
Blair, son of Archer - A pious fraud.
If a senior conservative political leader could perjure himself, be imprisoned and, not lose his place in the hierarchy; it was only a matter of time before his son would arise (regardless of party) , to use lies & deceit in order to sustain himself in the highest public office.
Blair’s performance at Chilcott was a black day for Britain. It is the culmination of a tragic loss of integrity & substance in all our leaders, & in ourselves…….
Reporters called it “defiant” – ‘ Who makes the fairest show means most deceit.’
But defiant is inaccurate, if predictable. The correct word was desperate.
His hypocritical defence, exposed the consistent lack of substance in his behaviour and his words.
- "His evidence has been that of a man who believed he was doing the right thing,"
Rather, ‘A coward, a most devout coward; religious in it.’
Like his twin Campbell, Blair’s statements never came near to the facts. His, was an over-rehearsed, automated performance, lacking any conviction.
His reasoning was flawed & disengaged from the reality of his actions. - The climax being Blair’s total inability to express any form of humanity towards those who have suffered.
He came across as a soul-less man, incapable of even acknowledging the pain & suffering he has caused to his fellow countrymen…. The height of selfishness, a barbaric stance in its total nakedness ….
- How totally un-Christian. – ‘Past all shame, so past all truth.’
And yet, one cannot but feel that he was let-off. Let-off by the equally feeble & verbose questioning from the Chilcott panel. - They are acknowledged members of the country’s elite establishments; yet they performed with a lack of conviction, almost equaling Mr. Blair’s …….
What is wrong with us, that we elect such weaklings, & support their foul abuse of power? Our silence gives consent to their actions, letting them go without reprimand, and without punishment.
- Could it be that the purpose of Blair’s life, & the intellectual & moral decay of our leaders, exemplified by the panel members - is merely to serve as a warning to the rest of us?
real tinsel lies beneath the phoney tinsel on the outside.
some will prosper in chaos, and some will suffer. Lack of clear objectives and misplaced priorities represent the biggest threats to all societies. Waste, indecision, panic, and obfuscation are their handmaidens.
"I can imagine a situation where I might not be a woman anymore or where I will be eternally sad or happy."
“It’s a recession,” said McGarr, the program director at Renzo. “Some days, fighting is the only thing holding them together.”
“The question now is, ‘How big is this fire going to be?’ ” said Uri D. Landesman, head of global growth at ING. “What is panic, and what is legitimate, we don’t know at this point.”
There is a growing sense in governments and board rooms around the world that a major confrontation with the working class is coming, with potentially revolutionary implications. There are fears within ruling circles that the unions may not be able to contain the anger of workers and young people, who are already facing mass unemployment and declining living standards.

Dear Hannah,
This is the third time I have been asked about republishing this old essay on my time as an assistant. Unfortunately, for various reasons I do not want it to be reprinted anywhere. So I am afraid I have to say no your flattering request.
My apologies to Lisa, and I hope this does not alter the concept of the book.
very best wishes,
Merlin Carpenter

Strong evidence suggests that people who don’t find solid roots in the job market within a year or two have a particularly hard time righting themselves. In part, that’s because many of them become different—and damaged—people.

“People come in and talk about how we all know that inflation is going to explode next year,” Mr. Goldman said. “Well, we don’t all know that. We don’t know anything. But we can know something about our own lives, and there is a person we can talk to about that. A person in the mirror.”

“The protests, unrest and violence all this time are instigated by those who are attempting to preserve for their own benefit all the ills that resulted in the Greek people being beggars to international markets,” Dimitris Daskalopoulos, head of the Athens-based Federation of Greek industries, said in a speech yesterday. “Who are they calling on us to protest against and demand from? Is it maybe against ourselves?”
How do we resist? How, if this descent is inevitable, as I believe it is, do we fight back? Why should we resist at all? Why not give in to cynicism and despair? Why not carve out as comfortable a niche as possible within the embrace of the corporate state and spend our lives attempting to satiate our private needs? The power elite, including most of those who graduate from our top universities and our liberal and intellectual classes, have sold out for personal comfort. Why not us?
I have been a prat. I wasn't thinking - I don't think logically when I'm drunk.

The problem is that, unlike art, video games are increasingly sophisticated and subtle. A lot of recent academic research has focused on how video gambling machines take advantage of the predictable vulnerabilities of problem gamblers. Many non-gambling games are built the same way. They are designed to trick the reward centres of the brain through a variety of techniques: “near misses”, delayed rewards, illusions of control. In other words, they induce the same sort of misjudgment of utility that leads a crack addict to neglect his job. Designing machines to be pleasurable or useful is one thing – designing them to be addictive is quite another. so that people “disappear” into the games they are playing or “exit from time”
The point is not that everyone makes mistakes. It is that certain kinds of misjudgment are predictable. Being predictable, they will be used to get people to part with their money. And that no one is more potentially self-destructive than someone who claims to be pursuing his own self-interest.
We are gradually entering the second half of the hurricane that will leave no unturned stone in the end.
My heart really bleeds for these art speculators who got ripped off. Now they have to drink Veuve Cliqout instead of Dom Perignon. What a travesty. Pig vs. Pig.

In a pre-revolutionary situation (which is also a pre-counter-revolutionary situation) their will be a plethora of community-based struggles, and revolutionaries need to be able to distinguish between those which have transitional potential and those which do not. One criterea or guide to such a differentiation is between what is tolerated and what is considered "illegal" by the class enemy.
All academics in arts and humanities have been told they are at risk of redundancy and will have to make the case for their jobs by proving their research excellence and their "fit" with the school's newly realigned priorities. The paper led to a storm of criticism on the internet by academics around the world.
The fear by King's staff is that the college is prioritising short-term budget savings and developing those departments that attract high fee-paying students (ie non EU applicants whose fees are not capped) above the interests of academic excellence. This, they argue, will set a precedent, resulting in damage to UK higher education.
"It's not that people are going to be asked to research other things, it's that they're going to be fired if the research they currently do doesn't fit the dean's and other figures' unknown conception of what the arts and humanities should now be up to," says Michael Martin, professor of philosophy at University College London (UCL), and a friend of some of those threatened by the planned cuts.
And if King's is successful in its plans to require all its arts and humanities academics to make a fresh case for their continued employment, Martin says, "in a way, it means the end of universities in the UK".
What's new is the affective texture of it, the mode of comportment - that is, humiliation - required to deal with an apparatus of self-reproduction that so baldly flaunts its opacity. It is an obstinate, hostile nothing that can't be known, because it isn't a regime of production itself. Only a set of relations, extractions and circulations erected over industrial capital's slow-motion failure.

"For some guy who wants Picasso, this iLabor power is a commodity. Like any overproduced commodity, it must devalorize. That is the only perspective which the logic of capital allows. Resisting this logic can only become resisting to be a commodity. That is what confronting the value-form means in practice.
In fact, among younger listeners, the lower-quality sound might actually be preferred. Jonathan Berger, a professor of music at Stanford, said he had conducted an informal study among his students and found that, over the roughly seven years of the study, an increasing number of them preferred the sound of files with less data over the high-fidelity recordings.
“I think our human ears are fickle. What’s considered good or bad sound changes over time,” Mr. Berger said. “Abnormality can become a feature.”

By refusing to obey the logic of capital, workers in Greece are refusing to be good commodities. Capitalism is threatening our survival. In struggles that spring from the will to live, the commodification of life may itself be questioned, first implicitly, then overtly.
