If I could write, I would write a book called The Fatuous Faust. Its protagonist would be a happy-go-lucky, techno-utopian warrior manager who loved his workers, and gadgets, but loved artificial scarcity and stupid corporate infantilization tricks much more. His workers keep making gadgets that would save them all, but he rises to each occasion, in spite of his happy-go-lucky ways, and turns them into means for further undermining the basis of production. He eventually becomes dimly aware that something is going horribly wrong. So he sues the workers for using company intellectual property in their DIY shops.

Ha ha. Next you'll be moving to the 'burbs. Come and fix my blender, while you're at it.

Thank God we live in an apartment. Even you have to admit there's no room for a saw mill in an apartment.

I've been thinking about how I could run it down the back porch as a gravity mill, actually.

Yea I envy such things, until I remember that I live in an apartment and can't afford otherwise. Why hello reality, nice to see you.
