mickjagger··on Art that was hiding in plain sight
Looks like an upside down map of the world.
mickjagger··on The World of Cricket Fighting
I anticipated cricket stumps and cricket bats, an all-in brawl at the wickets, and umpires wearing white.

The first rule of cricket club - no one talks about cricket club.

mickjagger··on My first industry job: lies, deceptions, and layoffs

mickjagger··on My first industry job: lies, deceptions, and layoffs
I may be a prude but it’s a real concern to me when people lie as part of their work/career.

If you were lying at the start of your career, you’re probably still lying now? Maybe?

I don’t know. Maybe I should loosen up. Maybe I’m boring old school… maybe lying a bit to get your first job is what everyone does (except me).

mickjagger··on The US Is a Banana Republic: The 1% Own More Wealth Than the Entire Middle Class
It’s not about fixing things.

It’s about the fact that it’s ok for people to be very rich, as long as they pay their fair share.

If they don’t pay their fair share then there’s good reason to argue there shouldn’t be ultra wealthy people. Then they’re just exploitative leeches on society.

I find it really hard to understand why the rich don’t make it easier on themselves by being responsible members of society instead of relentlessly focusing on keeping poor people poor.

Pay some taxes, contribute to roads and schools and hospitals.
