Not only is it good practice in general given the fanatic brand loyalty that creates in a very lucrative customer base (it's me, I'm a brand loyal PMC) it's an excellent defense against financial analysts.

2. This puts the so-called PMC in close contact with the rest of the working class- both traditional industrial unions who support their organizing and the insurgent service and logistics workers. Thanks to the Obama economy, many "PMC"are former bike couriers or baristas (or work 2nd jobs).

Think you can explain a lot of the freakout about the "woke pmc" and subsequent reactionary turn from the tech industry guys as well with this
I think this touches a deep, often-overlooked point. In my labour law days, I saw some employers spend MORE money fighting unionization than they would have paid accepting it. Loss of control was driving them at least as much as profits! Control is vital – with environmental policy as well.
I should write the argument up properly somewhere, but I think this is fundamentally wrong. A decisive fraction of the capitalist class does oppose addressing the climate crisis, but *not* because it would be bad for profits. If anything, a green New Deal type program would raise aggregate profits.

We need more writing on this. The class character of a the PMC is undertheorized. At least undertheorized for what it is: a historically progressive force. There’s been a fair amount of dismissive sneering from self conscious intellectuals.

Thank you @rimaanabtawi.bsky.social for noting that the conventional belief that women ovulate once a month is wrong, according to Canadian researchers. They have found that women can potentially ovulate two or even three times a month.

So-called "PMC class consciousness" cannot ignore two factors:
1. The labor movement. There has been a major upsurge in unionizarion amongst journalism, nonprofit, and higher ed workers, and an upswing in militancy in traditional sectors like teachers and Hollywood that goes back to Trump I.
