I would like to see more on this. In addition, some things that are
called "service" look an awful lot like factories to me. Why should one
call the production of food in a MacDonalds "service labor" while the
production of food in a Kraft factory or a Pillsbury mill is "productive
labor." Both equally change matter, so even at a vulgar level both seem
equally productive.
