For the Chapter 12s that fail, many of these farm owners will end up working the same lands in the same sorts of jobs. They just won't own the capital anymore, and the surplus value of their labor will accumulate in the factory farming

Exactly. You have to be willing to walk. It's not even a high-risk proposition, given how many other amazing opportunities are available to virtually every knowledge worker at Google.

I morally judge (not condemn) people who work at Google. If you can get a job at Google, you can get a job almost anywhere. There is tons of great work out there for you. People who work at Google are choosing to aid in the suppression of h

This is a great argument for breaking up these tech giant monopolies.

Feeding everyone is, of course, a good thing. But to have a state with no people in it implies that people would not be allowed to enter it, i.e. it would represent huge swathes of natural resources wherein some smaller group of people wo

Involuntary bankruptcy is pretty rare in the USA, but Sears sounds like a good candidate for it. Kmart and Sears are obviously cruising towards Chapter 7 or 11. If I were a sizable creditor, I would rather get the company into bankruptcy co

I am becoming anxious to see some action out of the DOJ Anti-Trust division against Google, Facebook, and Amazon, etc. These tech behemoths effectively own most of the consumer internet and they use their muscle to either acquire or force o
