      Possessions and nothing else.
      Nice holidays. Good food. Cinema, theatre, concerts. The best health care. A nice house with a nice big garden. A second home somewhere nice. A nice car. Early retirement if desired.

      So, nothing really.

        That would cost you a lot more than 100k a year in England.
        I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

              A good contractor can net 140k, three times as many holidays, AND still find time to post on CUK.
              I must be a good contractor then.

                I can testify to that €50 in Amsterdam will bring you love, a blow job and some fu*ky fu*ky.

                    erm surely that should read that you get to jump to the front of the queue to get the same health care as everyone else?!

                      On Permanent Career Jobs and the Work Slave


                      You have heard, of course, of those tiny fish in the rivers of Brazil that attack the unwary swimmer by thousands and with swift little nibbles clean him up in a few minutes, leaving only an immaculate skeleton?

                      Well, that's what the organization is.

                      "Do you want a good clean life?
                      Like everybody else?"

                      You say yes, of course.

                      How can one say no?

                      "O.K. You'll be cleaned up.

                      Here's a job, a family, and organized leisure activities."

                      And the little teeth attack the flesh, right down to the bone.

                      Having slavery but not calling it that – even denying it and congratulating ourselves for this advance is “useful.” It has two consequences:

                      It soothes the consciousness of the slave “owner.”

                      The illusion of non-slavery often, even usually, internalized by the slaves themselves, gives them at least some sense of (false) hope.

                      “Just between us, slavery, preferably with a smile, is inevitable then. But we must not admit it. Isn't it better that whoever cannot do without having slaves should call them free men?

                      For the principle to begin with, and, secondly, not to drive them to despair. We owe them that compensation, don't we?

                      In that way, they will continue to smile and we shall maintain our good conscience.”
