Listen to them, they're dying, R2!
I didn't know who Alfred E Neuman was until the Buttigieg thing. Not sure i knew what Mad Magazine was either. Am 25
Heartbreaking, &c.
Pretty much feel the same looking back on that show as I do looking back on my anarchist phase in general. Cringe, with some real problematic blind spots, but nevertheless kinda good at heart with some cool ideas.
I work in manufacturing as well, and what strikes me is about this is that Marx seems to have talked to actual, real business owners about how they think about and account of the running costs of doing business. Marx is of course presenting as a model built from first principles, but it's clear that it does actually fit with the way capitalists actually do capitalism.
Yeah, it really struck me in volume 1 that the notion of socially necessary labor time maps really well onto the Lean manufacturing notions of value-added and non-value added labor (Marx's explanation is of course more flexible and has more explanatory power, thus clearing up some of the misconceptions that are likely to arise, but there is clearly a common idea-seed.) Similarly many of the principles of the social productive powers of labor arising from co-operation. Here in the beginning of Volume II we even begin to understand the Lean obsession with inventory minimization and just-in-time manufacturing, which initially appears to many of us on the left as ridiculous if not outright delusional, as stemming from capital's drive towards constant, unimpeded progress of its various forms through the circuit as the means of generating as much return on investment as quickly as possible.
I mean it kinda is under their bed, if they look down at a bit of an angle
Wow. I didn't know that. You're telling me now for the first time
mainly the bean count

A reindeer with a RED nose rises from his low social standing by drawing on his unique talents. But instead of pursuing personal aggrandizement he gives according to his ability and in so doing becomes the literal vanguard of an egalitarian project to distribute wealth to all the good little boys girls and enbies of earth on the basis of need, against all notions of capitalist rationality. He casts a bright red light serving as a shining example for all good comrades to follow 
Uhh let me pee here
As he pulled his luggage through downtown New Haven, Conn., a woman handed him a flier describing his new city as crime-ridden and dangerous. It listed alarming local crime statistics and instructed students to “remain on campus,” “avoid public transportation” and “stay off the streets after 8 p.m.” Illustrated with a picture of the Grim Reaper, the flier wished students an ominous “Good luck.”
But perhaps most jarring was the source of the flier, listed plainly in its text: the union that represents Yale’s own campus police.

I think RN/Ensemble coalition is unworkable, at least right now. Macron's brand is staked too much in being the safeguard against the fascists, and I don't see RN having any reason to hitch themselves to what has been a very unpopular administration. At the very least, these results mean that if either Macron or RN wants a functional right-wing government, the political costs are going to be severe.
