quote [ For Landers, the true value of the emergence of the term gamification is in the way it affected the conversation around labor. ?Talking about things like fun in the context of work has been a desperately needed change,? he says. ]

Interesting article from 2016 by none less than Simon Parkin (also).

What I?ve Learned from Getting Fired Six Times

quote [ Dianne?s voice and colour rose slightly as she spoke. ?They knew me in a way that my husband and my parents and my kids did not.? She looked from me to Jason. ?You get into the work you do by accident and find it was there waiting for you. It was pure happiness.? ]

Great 2021 book excerpt on emotions and willpower and media restructuring and stuff. Not sure if actually capitalist.

Meet the six mega-rich families running the food system

quote [ "They were willing to cross ethical lines others weren't willing to cross. [For instance] most hog farmers weren't willing to pack thousands of their animals into a windless metal shed," he says.

Some creepy monopoly stories.

11 Secrets About Being An Aldi Cashier

quote [ Why do Aldi cashiers sit down while ringing you up? How do they go so fast? What are the perks of the job? ]

Inspired to post due to the recent article on barcodes. Looks like they still have to remember certain codes, but not the complete inventory anymore.

The Spectacular Failure of the Star Wars Hotel

In a feat that would make John Oliver jealous, Jenny Nicholson spends 4 hours documenting Disney's greed and exploitation that killed their Star Wars hotel without once ever saying the word Capitalism.

Pretty interesting watch though.
