Have staple, will travel

So let’s look at how to think about comprehensive problems by resolving a series of patterns through the context of the fundamental wage dispute.   There’s an interesting whistleblower* case where one guy in Utah has contacted the IRS and has a case.   He does, although he has the odds stacked against him because it’s one guy against massive corporations trying to expose corporate fraud.   I want to talk about the fact that wage disputation is a fundamental armament because it exposes the continuity between Oedipus and freedom and the actuality of a duality: that you have to build power to overcome the 20% lack of freedom we have in our daily lives to decide our own fate, moreover that power resides in private agreement that can be quickly changed but must be held to the path of attaining freedom.   But I wonder at the person who can say that everything belongs to some higher purpose, a synthesis of meaning across disciplines, willing to enforce a system of integral ...
