Deci circopitecii astia decerebrati precum Jeffrey Dorfman de la Forbes Magazine li se pare normal ca sa traiesti intr-un mediu permanent impredictibil si complet la mana angajatorului. De fapt asta se vrea si cu TTIP-ul, exportul acestei conceptii ultraliberale despre piata muncii. Cel putin in comunism pentru un comportament stahanovist ti se promitea un loc in utopia comunismului de apoi. Capitalismul isi face un titlu de glorie din faptul ca nu promite nimic exceptand faptul ca vei trai toata viata intr-o distopie, ce-i drept mai putin drastica decat cele imaginate de scenaristii de Hollywood. A fost o perioada cand suspectam Hollywood-ul ca prin puzderia de distopii cu care inundau piata se urmarea in mod subersiv trezirea unei stari de revolta si apoi actiune. Acum imi dau seama ca singura lor ratiune este aceea de a ne familiariza cu distopia prezenta precum si cu cele viitoare ridicate in slavi de apologeti jegosi precum acest nene de la Forbes.
Jeffrey Dorfman at Forbes Magazine criticizes me for “becoming an unthinking, reflexive defender of workers” when I argue that on-demand jobs like Uber make life “unpredictable” and “terribly insecure.” He then parrots the old rightwing rubbish that jobs exist only “when both employer and employee are happy with the deal being made.” So if the new jobs being created in the economy are low-paying and insecure, that’s just too bad.
Mr. Dorfman and his colleagues at Forbes apparently don’t know capitalism requires minimum standards of decency and fairness. What about jobs that are unsafe? Or pay four dollars an hour? Or require 20 hours a day? America had such standards until corporations shifted full-time work onto temps, free-lancers, contract workers, and other on-demand workers who fall outside the labor protections established decades ago. And he doesn’t seem to recall we once had a labor movement that gave workers enough clout to extract from employers higher wages and better working conditions than employers would otherwise have been “happy” to provide.
The drivel spewed by rightwing apologists for what’s happening to American workers is mind-boggling.
