Great piece here by Joseph Grosso in COMPACT on low wage economy as seen in America's slaughterhouses.

You could have replaced 'meatpacking workers' with 'truckers' and the essay would barely require changes.

The war on CHUDS is old and ongoing.

Today, for members, it's Joseph Grosso Joseph Grosso on meatpacking in 'In the Neoliberal Slaughterhouse' compactmag.com/article/in-the… 'Rather than more workers willing to take bad jobs for less money, as the 'labor-shortage' narrative implies, we need better jobs.'

“One rarely hears about a ‘shortage’ of lawyers or Wall Street bankers.”

Oh, great. The Biden White House turned me into a minority by turning “Middle Eastern” into a “race.”

It’s a nonsensical move that will only further the sad racialization of our common life.

Institutional drift is all around us: city councils vote over ceasefires in foreign wars, museums become moral arbiters, universities act as police, sex shops as hate-crime-reporting centers.

Nina Power on this 'parodic end of the division of labor':

'Today, to even start to become mature, we would first have to untangle the confusion induced by the combination of purposeless technocracy and incompetence that characterizes contemporary life.'

Now is the perfect time for a Guy DeBord revival, what with our rabid obsession with public spectacles…and our incapacity to decipher them

Happy to see Nina Power engaging with his ideas in COMPACT as they pertain to institutional drift

Your uni now functions as the police.

Your local cops act like your doctors.

Your doctors take on political activism.

And so on.

No one does what he’s supposed to. How did this nightmare world of institutional drift come about?

I wrote about how institutions have become parodies of one another compactmag.com/article/the-ni… [paywall] 'Our daily encounter with the world is often more parodic than directly oppressive. Or rather, our world is oppressive because parodic.'

Not a week goes by I don't ponder Voltaire's 'you must cultivate your own garden,' and this tart essay by Nina Power on the detaching of practices & institutions suggests maybe also tending organizational gardens. compactmag.com/article/the-ni…
