I think part of What's Going On with billionaires is that the daily friction of interacting with normal people is part of what anchors people to the real world, and once you have enough money to buy your way out of the friction you can knock down a load-bearing column propping up your sanity.

it's worse than that: the machines could crank out a larger volume of shittier cloth *and* didn't require a lot of training to operate
so instead of paying the same workers the same price for more cloth, they got a bunch of orphaned kids to work the machines

An easy way to explain luddites:
Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand.
And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before.
That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.

My mom was watching The Final Sacrifice the other day, her favorite MST3K, and it suddenly dawned on me why Luigi's court outfit felt so familiar.

I've been avoiding posting the ko-fi lately because people have already helped me so much this year, especially with Artorias's medical and cremation costs, but my personal financial situation is still precarious and these bills just won't stop coming.
