If a new machine gives an efficiency advantage over other makers of equivalent commodities - the owner of that machine reaps a financial advantage that is experienced as “generated value”.

They have him outnumbered, but he has the gun. If they rush him, they can easily defeat him. But, the first one or two or three or four people to move forward will be shot and probably die painfully.

You feel a little paralyzed and at the same time ashamed you are just standing there.

I always felt Marx’s finished products had a kind of dull exposition, at least for large parts. I think he felt he had to lay out a system like that. But the unfinished stuff, even the Grundrisse have a lively dialectical feel that is pretty captivating.
Wouldn’t it be easier to go from RN to ARNP than starting over to train as a PA?
“The Event”?
Yes Victoria Goddard. There are a lot of these books and they all intertwine in one universe.
Hand of the Emperor is the start of a many novel, interwoven set of stories. Calming, delightful.

This is why the Internet needed to be invented.
