Apparently a lot of jobs are not essential

Does this mean communism works?

If we could ask, I think the 100 million dead due to communism would say no.

You see dead people?

In my State, 72% of jobs are "essential." That would seem to imply that however our current economy is structured, not quite a third of it is unnecessary-but-nice-to-have.

Not sure how you get the second part of that question from the first, though.

if we could ask, i think the Hundreds of Millions due to capitalism would also say no


If communism get's to be accused of millions of deaths, so does capitalism, we have abundant resources to feed everyone yet people still starve to death because someone wants to have a bigger number on their bank account, same goes for medical care

I hope you're proud of yourself, Mayne.

Something tells me that they aren't letting the new social distancing guidelines impact their business too much.

uh .. no.
i mean, not the $1k a pop hookers, those are still working, but the streetwalkers, they can't just hang around. I'm being serious, there's a lot of sex workers who need to put food on the table. And not just in the US, but around the world.

Maybe they're going old-school and doing it through the hole in the sheet?

They are clothed until further notice.

Actually considering the huge list of essential services I'm surprised they were not in that list. I mean, even weed shops are on that list lol. I think that's changed now though.

It means automation works. Whether or not that supports any of Marx's assertions (or whether Marxism has anything to do with any past, present, or future manifestation of communism on a national scale) is another matter entirely.

You mean your wife's job is essential.

 

[BoomerD]

You mean your wife's job is essential.

oh no...she makes terrible coffee. I make ALL the coffee in our house.

 

[BudAshes]

oh no...she makes terrible coffee. I make ALL the coffee in our house.

But how are her sandwiches?

 

[MrSquished]

Apparently what turns out is those who are deemed to be essential workers are often underpaid and underappreciated

 

[BoomerD]

Good...for sammiches. I ate way too manY sammiches out of a lunchbox to ever think sammiches are actually good.
