ToxicAcne posted:What do you guys think of Varoufakis's theory that Capitalism is dying out and being replaced by techno-feudalism? I don't really get the comparison to feudalism as that wasn't really based on the endless expansion of capital. Feudalism existed in a society where most stuff hadn't been commodified yet. If climate change weren't a thing maybe, all forecasts at the moment are future fascism tho

One of the most depressing things to me about modern capitalist priorities, coming from 15 years in commercial kitchens, is the enormously wasted potential of the dozens of huge kitchens capable of feeding thousands of people a day with a minimum of labor and raw food inputs that exist in almost every community here, that are left to collect dust as workers reheat plastic bags of Aramark of Sysco foods It's incredible what you can do feeding people-wise with even a smaller industrial kitchen like you get in any school in this country....but it's just....wasted, goddamn it makes me mad

Anime Bernie Bro posted:At the risk of sounding like a neolib r-slur, I think the last-mile logistics problem is more interesting. Speaking as someone familiar with the capabilities of these kitchens, don't emphasize the hot aspect and instead create a line that makes the piles of food to serve immediately to people in a certain circumstance and then chill it for longer timeline distribution chains that are focused on the community at large Food does not become a total loss once it loses 15 degrees on a buffet line over the course of 2 hours, not even by the strictest ServSafe protocols. Pretty much anything you eat in even a super fancy restaurant was prepped at 5am and put into cold storage immediately or processed (grilled, fried, etc) and put into cold storage to preserve it You may be amazed to learn how little of a problem it is with modern food kitchens and logistics lines they can and have created to turn 1500 pounds of food into something they can distribute instead of waste. The last mile you speak of is a 15 minute jaunt to a distribution point at worst. If that much does not exist then no solution works anyway, and is largely irrelevant because commercial kitchens at the school level tend to be distributed quite evenly

I cannot think of anything more satisfying and the worst part is that it'd be absolutely effortless a thing to make possible even within the dark beating heart of capitalism if only the political will existed

Recipes are for bakers and cowards, just make a big pot of some base like lentils or rice or lentils and rice or rice and beans and add stuff to do. Can of chili? Sure. Roast up whatever veggies are on sale? Hell yeah. Simmer a can of coconut milk with a shitload of whatever spices are handy and mix it in? Oh yeah brother. Dump a big roast in a crock pot on low for 8 hours? Oh yeah baby, shred that and add the rest. A bag of nuts and some celery sticks and whatever to snack on or for variety, big pot of hard boiled eggs, all good. My fav recipe is "open sardine tin, pour hot sauce on, eat over sink"

Anime Bernie Bro posted:i mean to be fair the maitre d at a place selling veggies for $90 probably makes more than that It's not an unreasonable point but the staff supported it, and locally here a place went to no tips and 15 an hour minimum and the staff there wanted it too. The stability is probably really nice and of course not getting 2 bucks an hour for all of your sidework

These are all problems that were solved like a hundred+ years ago. Capitalist realism is a hell of a fuckin thing to see in effect. It is made abundantly clear by the actual power holders that this specific thing will never, ever happen so the world contorts itself around the newly forged belief that it is impossible actually to avoid having to grapple with the fact that what we want or how we vote has no meaningful impact on anything

Yeah the big appeal with prison labor is that all the externalities are picked up by the taxpayer and all that's left for the for profit corporation contracting that labor is to cash the checks. The other name for this model is "private-public" and as you can imagine it instantly became incredibly popular with Chambers of Commerce across the world as soon because it's also the basis of Austrian economics
