In which I make a linkspam political post

A worthwile-watching video on creating a sharing culture in the decline of Capitalism
in English, Spanish, French, and some other languages (?) with English subtitles

A Journey Through Corporatism
in which one London graduate discusses the problems she found searching for employment post-graduation and working for the Man (also features an animated video of a talk by David Harvey about the crisis of Capitalism)

Finally, my partner's thoughts on getting a liberal arts degree (roughly quoted):

"It's as though I spent years on a tour of the meat-packing industry, uncovering exactly what they put in the meat and how the animals were treated. Then I graduated and they told me the only jobs I could get were working in meat-packing plants, but I can't forget what I know."

"..but I can't forget what I know"

Ouch. Yes — I think that would resonate with a lot of my (mostly under- or unemployed) college classmates who are struggling to find meaningful ethical full-time work.

(I was a science major at a liberal-arts college, so I did okay. But... yeah.)

Re: "..but I can't forget what I know"

*nodnod* Yes. Totally.

My response is much the same as above. Very ouch, but very true. I'm working on finding places to not be in the meat-packing plant, but it's not easy!

Sorry for the ouch! (Maybe I should have used a cut, this was posted in a moment of anger-with-the-system, etc.)

It is definitely Not Easy. :(
