Or a small amount of ketchup for those who put ketchup on burgers. Pickles
on the bottom is oddball, but I happen to share that oddballness. I want
pickles on the top, bottom, and some on the side. I think that tomorrow I
will go by Steak 'n Shake at 5 AM and get a triple Steak and fries with
extra onion, extra pickles and extra relish. The guy at the one near my job
is a maniac; he told me that if I loved the Triple Steakburger and fries,
that I would *really* love it made by him, because he was great at his job. Indeed, it was the best dressed Steakburger ever, plenty of pickles and
relish. He might have given me a few cents worth of extra condiments, but I
am more likely to give them business more often. "Radical Hospitality" is a
phrase that was used at the church where I used to work, but it extends to retail in general. If I get that same level of customer service from that
same person tomorrow, SnS will get a call from me, a person who has registered
complaints in the past, complimenting that employee.

On a macroeconomic level, I detest the inequity in pay of the levels of
management, and the obscene disparity between the earnings of the ownership
class and working class, but that's not a battle that can be fought in the
workplace. In the extant paradigm, class warfare is all about the ballot
box, and meliorist rebellion against a system that has created the greatest
disparities since the 1920s.

Revolution cannot be led or inspired by workers who have become uninspired
by work--by their own work, or by the work of others. The Second World
ceased to exist not only because people became sickened by authoritarianism,
but because the whole, "We pretend to work, and they pretend to pay us,"
paradigm stifled inspiration.

Das Kapital was a perfect description and critique of Capitalism, but his
later writings were a mere utopian fantasy that exaggerated the effect of
altered economic relationships on the human condition. The choice between
Communist dystopia and Capitalist dystopia is a false choice. FDR, Truman,
Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford and Carter all understood that,
and if either Carter had been reelected, or had been succeeded by Bush the
Elder (who called Trickle-down, Voodoo Ecomomics) we might have had sane policies, but Reagan had been captured by the evil of Ayn Rand, who
differed from Satanism only by her Atheism. The Kennedy tax restructurings
were stupid, and ill advised, but the Reagan ones were downright evil--the
beginning of the Fascist era of American economic policies.

In the 1960s, Milburn Drysdale was a caricature, but in modern America,
greed has been re-visualized as a virtue, and the ultra-wealthy deserving
of every bit of *use value* they can manage to extract from the economy.
They function as royalty because we let them do so.
