Obviously capitalism does not work...


productivity, efficiency, less pay, no overtime, no sick pay, no holiday pay, health and safety - what's that - is this the "best system in the world"?

Ken Loach at least tries to bring this issues to light, all hail to him.

I was working in London in 1974 for 40 pounds a week. Sounds awfully small, but it went a long way. Rent was 7.00 a week, healthcare was free, beer was 0.17 for 20 ounces, bands in pubs were free, bus fare was 0.05, phone call was 0.02, two mile cab ride was 0.30, etc.
BTW, a friend did session work for Marc Bolan.
