The article doesn’t mention it, but it’s also difficult to bring their money with them due to strict transfer limits.

If we define work/labor as human effort that results in the creation of value by transforming raw materials into a commodity (or an intermediaries that later become commodities) or providing services that allow for the continuation of human society, you kinda see why the disconnect exists.

We do.

When I post multiple paragraphs, I'm usually writing towards an ignorant liberal who might someday somehow stumble in here perhaps looking for "shittankiessay" material

So I write purposely basic definitions like that which force the readers to adopt my framework.

If I don't define labor, and they have no idea that I'm working from a Marxist mindset, then the point can't really be made. If work is just "what I do to make money," well, everyone does that! Even CEOs in a way. Capitalists invest capital and think that's working. So, I gotta define what I'm talking about in hopes of grabbing just one person.

It also forces me to recall information so I don't become Joe Biden with jello sloshing in my skull

No worries. I just replied so you knew I read it.

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
