Yes I know you like people to stick to the point that's why I rarely come near your threads..I have a bad habit of not sticking to the point.

Now I have to go and think so to stick to the point.

If the boss gives it a lot of thought he can make the workforce middle class. The person who can think will do the thinking on behalf of those who cannot. It was the old style capitalism, the paternalistic and national capitalism that was less egalitarian but more altruistic at the same time. People were not equal in theory, but more equal in practice based on the understanding that they're not equal they could work with what was actually there. This created a middle class in America that would survive almost 100 years.

Ford also said (which was touched on in that clip briefly)

" Whether a man thinks 'he can' or whether he thinks 'he cannot' he will always put his effort into proving himself correct "

I'm not a great fan of Ford, but there's no denying his mental capacity, and that of others of his era.

cheers

It's not capitalism of the Ritz, it's capitalism for the aspiring masses. Thomas Cook, the automobile, the chocolate bar - this era of capitalists felt and believed in improving the lot of mankind. They felt pride in what they brought to market and they knew the difference that the first taste of chocolate, the first holiday, the first car would make in peoples lives. But they also felt that enabling people to live up to this newfound quality of life required paternalism. They felt that society - and particularly the working class - would sink back to the caves left to their own libertarian devices and therefore wished to retain an element of social control.

When practising living in no-mind..in the NOW..thoughts are only distractions ..or disturbances.

Maybe more and more people practise the Zen meditation that's why so few are doing the thinking?dunno

When you are in a prison like the black dolphin you have time to think, in fact that's about all you have.laugh
That is, including a few fantasies. But the guards won't tolerate much of that- as I have no doubt, you already know scold

Ford once sad, now (referencing his Model T) , you can have it painted any color you want, as long as its black.
He was shocked when GM,later, offered other colors.
I think he was stupid.

This article just presents the same old middle class crippling concept that pushed USA jobs overseas.

Great creation- the assembly line, bad marketing and over confidence. When youve got the only affordable car in existence you stand make a little pocket change.
