Consume less.

The point I'm making is that regardless of whether it's a service or a product, bulk is good for both, and results in lower costs to the consumer. How those lower costs come about differs from...

Well yeah just like rubgy and football aren't the same, so tactics for one sport don't necessarily apply to the other. Doesn't mean tactis are useless for one of the two.

I'm not sure what point...

Not in the same way because one is a product whereas the other is a service. However, insurance is kinda like the bookies, where the more people they insure, the less probability they have of making...

Yeah I mean Real paid a then world record fee for Ronaldo, and of course his salary is huge, they have to protect their investment. Of course they insure their players. But obviously Ronaldo will...

Sure I can. I've been smoking the shit for over 20 years now, I know quality weed when I smoke it.

That said, I'm in no doubt that American weed will be, on average, better than British weed. Why?...

I'm probably wrong actually. I'd imagine both Ronaldo and Madrid insure his legs.

So why does the black market exist? Why is my weed consistently good quality?

Sometimes, crap quality weed hits the market. It's rare, because the person who sold it will lose customers as a...

Ronaldo doesn't insure his legs. Real Madrid (his employer) do. They're the ones who invested over £100m in him. Likewise, Kim's arse will be insured by her record label.

No excuse. Typo is an excsue. Say it was a typo.

Goodly is a good enough word whether it exists or not.

haha dear me your spelling is terrible for a teacher.

4) get another job
5) stop working altogether

This obviously isn't true. If an employee gets more out of the business than vice versa, then the business is destined to fail. Or, at the very least, a company can only afford to employ a small...

Yeah fair enough sav, I've done agency worked in the past when it suited me to ignore the phone at 5am if I didn't want to go in. There is a place for zero hours work, but it's purpose should be...

I did consider this as I was typing, which is why I added the caveat "fair productivity targets". If it can be shown in straight numbers that the employee has met the targets, then you're gonna need...

You're a rare breed if you're doing more than expected on a zero hours contract with no hope or even ambition of development.

I wouldn't even take a zero hours contract. You were talking of...

Alright I'll think like a capitalist.

If I'm going to employ someone to help me grow weed, I'll calculate how much extra productivity I can expect as a result of his labour.

First of all,...

Fair points.

Ok so instead of giving new employees profit share, we give people who have worked at the company for 12 months a profit share, assuming they have met fair productivity targets.

I think the lack of purpose thing is important in factory workers. This is why they lack incentive.

The pay... I'm not sure that really matters. I mean wealth is relative. Someone earning £1000 a...

Ok, my first thought was that these people are being given tasks which require skill or intelligence. But he gets to that, so cool.

The gist I'm getting is that performance related pay would work...

Shown not to? Not to me. Show me.

Nor am I, I'm merely arguing that incentivising workers with profit will likely result in increased productivity.

Those are fine points, but personal development and self respect are still incentives when the workers are also taking a slice of the profit.

I'm thinking of this is the basic sense of a factory...

Probably. There's also plenty of people who aren't motivated by money. I think we have to look at this in general terms.

Wait a minute... I didn't suggest that performance and profit related pay should replace hourly wages. I'm simply saying that the profit, or at least some of it, should shift from private owners to...
