[Marxism] unemployment blues (sigh)

[Greg McDonald <sabocat59@xxxxxxx>]

As a result of my organizing efforts around a class-action lawsuit, I  
was fired from my spa worker position last march. I've been  
collecting unemployment since that time, and the money will soon run  
out. I have been working part-time on my own, as massage therapists  
have the flexibility of moving between the categories of wage worker  
and independent/petit bourgeois professional. Unfortunately, since  
most people think of massage as a self-indulgent luxury, client calls  
have diminished considerably in the last 3 months.  To make matters  
worse, all of the big spas in the Berkshires have laid off dozens of  
therapists since last fall, swelling the independent market with  
additional bodies.

The amount of newspaper space devoted to help wanted ads here is also  
diminishing rapidly. Hardly a notice at all. Which leaves me with the  
tragic choice of having to sell one of my most prized possessions, my  
vintage Thorens TD-125mkII turntable with SME 3009 cartridge and  
ortofon 2m bronze cartridge. Talk about a boogie machine. It will be  
sorely missed!  (sob).  I just placed the ad with audiogon.
