Ecologically and Socially Friendly and Sustainable, Anarchic Civilisation
For any action undertaken, 3 intertwining processes determine our course:
So let’s have a look at these in the light of the status quo versus Open Empire.

In many online discussions & articles, I keep seeing this excuse again & again … the excuse basically blames every problem you see around you on something other than capitalism.
So let’s just debunk this once & for all.

This is the 3rd of a 3 part series on How to be a Better: Recruiter (Pt. 1); Boss (Pt. 2); Investor (Pt. 3)
My message is simple:
Invest in the guy (or girl) who offends you.
But please, allow me to “phone a friend” (I wish) and let him explain it to you … don’t mind the first 30 seconds or so which seems to be in another language.
A recent study (http://priceofoil.org/2016/09/22/the-skys-limit-report/) determined that: we’ve not just passed “peak oil” in terms of the apex of the supply-demand curve, where the Earth’s reserves have been so depleted, that demand will always outstrip supply (from here on in); but we’ve also outstripped usage versus ecological consequences, ie – any further oil wells means that exceeding 2 degrees of global warming is inevitable … and thus, the amount of new oil wells we can drill is NONE, NONE MORE BLACK.
For those of you familiar with my writing, you’ll know I’m no fan of the status quo … but without the resources to push my own projects – provided on terms that do not undermine project objectives – I cannot proceed with those projects with any degree / probability of success.
So I am switching tactics, and aside from continuing my project writing, I’d like to put the following offer – and background – on the table:

In the previous article in this series: How to be a Better: Recruiter (Pt. 1); I stated the following (paraphrased):
The existing regime of 8 hours each for work, rest and play – not that it actually works out that way for most people – was a hard fought and won combined effort, between the abolition of slavery and the union movements (thanks guys).
European workers had tried to collectively bargain many centuries before, but the collective organisation and bargaining of labour was outlawed by Britain in the 14th century. Subsequent attempts in Britain Canada Australia and elsewhere were then successful in the early to mid 1800s.

This article is a little off topic for Open Empire; I’ve written about this previously, but I’m going to add some new thoughts, and of course this time it’s part of a short series of connected articles.
To me the personnel, recruitment and HR industry does not function well … and there are many reasons for this, but I just want to talk about the solutions without too much discussion of the problems.
The epic assaults being carried out against the vulnerable around the world at this very moment will determine the fate of our species and the living earth itself.

I read this article some time ago, and had made some comments which drew me back to the article, as others had liked those comments; in my revisit, I noticed some new comments by others which drew further replies from me, and that I thought I would share.
