Happy Labor Day ... OT

[Neo]

Happy Labor Day to all ...

 

While many of my pragmatic posts elevate capital and free choice to co-equals of labor in our way of life, I don't lose sight that we're all laborers. No economic or political system means anything unless it advances the interests of human beings. Laborer is our first, necessary and most important role in these systems. Life is hard work and we're all laborers. Thank you all for THIS service.

So it's a slogan one day a year. Got it.

Commodore Norrington: One good deed is not enough to redeem a man of a lifetime of wickedness.

Jack Sparrow: Though it seems enough to condemn him.

Commodore Norrington: Indeed.

I've got labor pains today. I need some Advil.

So, is today a micro-aggression against the unemployed?

I am spending my holiday reflecting. I think about things like the Haymarket Affair, the Triangle Shirtwaist fire and the Mayday Massacre. I think about strong individuals that put their own personal lives aside and dedicate their lives to the plight of labor like Mother Jones and Samuel Gomphers. I think about all those souls whose lives were dedicated to an employer in a most often times failing attempt to better the lives of their families. I think about the consequences of their untimely deaths. Then I think about the men that I've known personally who have suffered, died and have left a family to struggle without them. I remember the calling hours and seeing the faces of children whose dad is lying a box, just over there by the flowers. IMO labor is vital to a strong economy that grows constantly. Labor is the scaffolding that holds it all up as the pieces are being placed. We are the grease that keeps the wheels turning. Labor is the force that realizes the dreams of the few that employ. Yep. I'll take my time this holiday the be thankful for my lot in life and strengthen my resolve to do all I can to lift up and provide a better lot in life for those that are struggling. Unity is a powerful thing. We should all revisit the idea.

More practically, I spent my day in two different ERs, helping docs diagnose pt maladies thru CT and Xrays. It was busy and now I am resting.
