Grijp dan ook hard in en dwing uw wetshandhavers om hard in te grijpen! Hate crimes en brandstichting mogen nu gewoon, onder het toeziend oog van de politie
Extra zonde omdat basis mondzorg een echte inkopper is qua "dat moet je gewoon vergoeden". Het betaalt zich dubbel en dwars in de maatschappij omdat gebitsproblemen veel ergere dingen kunnen veroorzaken en zwaar op mensen drukken
That's what happens every time when technology meets capital and you let capital set the agenda. There's a direct line to computers and our modern situation. That's also why the loom comparison is appropriate
idk what your wife has to do with it but the economic situation was one of many small weaver businesses, often families. Whatever you think of it, that entire social layer was destroyed at the expense of common people and for the exclusive profit of a select few bosses.
They forced hundreds of thousands into poverty, gave capitalists and factory bosses unprecedented concentrated power, allowed them to employ children on a mass scale with horrifying consequences and made overall textile quality worse
Yeah and this comes with its own interesting information preservation issues! (digital collections can degrade too, what if the ownership of the publisher changes hands, all kinds of intellectual property hell etc etc)
I mean, I agree with you mostly! I've destroyed truckloads of cheap paperbacks. You're correct that a lot of it is mass production. But not every book is The Pelican Brief and I worry about that
I'm not a book respecter, I'm a hater of these anti intellectual fools who will absolutely grind everything into fodder for the machine if you let them
First, extend this process to older and rarer books (which is what they're hunting for). I don't give a shit about tearing up some paperbacks (I've torn up many). But each volume that becomes rarer / is lost because of this and gets replaced by their lossy compression of it.. is lost information.
