Btw starting a job soon doing something useful that is why it pays 40% less than my previous job where I was literally paid to shut up and do nothing for hours on end, and the work consisted of overfeeding people with surveys so they would stop bothering management about policy.

This job looks to be a very busy one where you get to help people in need. Good thing I can afford to do it, because I don't have a high rent to pay.

Work vs Jobs

What I'm going to say is not in any way new - you can read Marx, Chomsky, Graeber, Bregman if you want to ponder it at length, but in the offline world it is still seen as a radical idea.

When reading about the sandwich- to- minimum wage- ratio, I saw all these Tumlblr comments basically going: (sobbing) 'fuck you, I'm not gonna buy that (sobbing some more').

So then I thought: if so many of us are cutting back on things like sammies because who indeed would pay €8 for a döner or $10 for a sandwich, how can this not cause a recession?

And then I remembered a Jon Stewart interview with some banking hotshot, saying that yes, because of the pandemic there were fewer laborers around, and yes, we absolutely had to force them to take jobs with bad pay, because supply and demand doesn't go for multinationals, so yes, they had to raise interest and prices artificially to force a recession, cannot be helped, how else would anyone work?

There's so many people who share that view, that if you didn't force people to take jobs, they wouldn't do any work, especially unpleasant work. A uni friend of mine who supports the German Green Party had argued vehemently against a basic income for that reason, because who would deign to clean the streets if they weren't forced to by threat of starvation, homelessness and having their children taken away?

And I need you all to know that experiments with basic income have proven that this is utter, and I mean utter bullshit. Even The Atlantic is seeing now, that there are people for whom working wasn't worth it because of the abysmal conditions, have begun working when the pay was high enough to justify the cost of work - in time or commute or rent.

There's this protestant view of the human spirit that suffering is somehow good for the soul, and this medieval catholic idea that the concept of "work" and "doing penance" is somehow one and the same, and therefore it is morally just to make others and yourself suffer through work, possibly to get a pat on the head from God, whose existence is taken as a given. And that has bled into the idea that jobs are

-morally just

-supposed to be awful, because good for the soul. The more intrinsically rewarding a job, the lower the wages, that's why caring for your own family is unpaid work the world over (both important and intrinsically rewarding)

-something you have to force sinful people into against their will

And both research and experience have proven time and time again that this isn't good, neither for people nor human society at large.

-First of all suffering doesn't make you a good person, ask Art Spiegelman, writer of MAUS, when talking about his father;

-Miserable workers do worse work, ask, well, any labour board in any country

-People actually choose to work for wages when the benefits outweigh the costs, ask the Finnish Government's minimum wage pilot, and the Mincome project.

If you guarantee people housing and a livable income whether or not they choose to work for wages, a few things happen:

People who couldn't afford to work less than fulltime because the cost of care would outstrip the benefit of wages, now choose to take on smaller jobs, stimulating both their wellbeing and the economy;

An increase in informal care makes sure that so many fewer people get sick (excluding antivaxxing tradwives, goodness knows what they're about....), costing the economy billions less

A greatly reduced crime rate, and far fewer incarcerations.

The reason why we're mostly not in a recession that several people who weren't working before, because of high wages, actually ARE working now and nobody needs to bully somebody out of their small business to become a barista at an understaffed Starbucks instead.

What people have been doing, however, is quitting pointless jobs that were actually killing them and keeping them away from their families.

And sure, corporations do not like that.

They need people tired and absolutely miserable so they spend their meagre disposable wages on immediate relief: overpriced food and alcohol, forcing them to clock back in until they die.

If a few employees die, that is absolutely fine. Cost of doing business. We need a critical mass of employees to replace them. You can replace a dead person with a former small business owner, no biggie.

If people get sick, they do not carry any - and I mean not any - of that cost. Society does, but they're not in society, they're in business. Money is not the means to an end, money is the entire end, no matter the cost.

They need to extract as much 'value' out of people as they can, then discard them. Again, it's not about making the employees do good work, it's about having their labour be of very short term gain, and having enough surplus people to be able to work employed people to death.

For that, they need to create poverty where, by rights, there isn't any.

And even they understand that people do not hold with that. So they conflate the idea of "labor", i.e. activity to sustain to make something new, sustain something or improve something, with the idea of a "job" - a position where you, potentially, are used to get a few shareholders richer with no regards for your wellbeing or that of your community, and if you want to get an increase in wages, you have to accept that your time spent there will be increasingly miserable. There are good jobs and bad jobs - indeed some jobs need you functioning at a minimum level of physical health, or are indeed fun, but even they will make you artificially miserable, either by forced poverty (you are a teacher! That is so rewarding! Of course you make nothing!), or moral injury (not only are you not doing anything useful, you are actively making people's lives worse). And they tell you this is necessary, like that episode in Black Mirror where someone has to kill three people or the world will come to an end. People have to be employed, otherwise the economy will tank, making everybody's lives super duper awful and nobody will ever even bother to come out of bed anymore.

There's is useful work done in jobs, but they are not the same thing.

If you guarantee people food, housing, and healthcare, they take better care of themselves, their loved ones, their environment, choose work that suits them, be it about the amount of hours or the kind of work, commit fewer crimes, spend more on fun, make more art, raise more children (their own or others), have fewer addictions. Exploitation is only in the interest of like 5 big companies in the world right now, and they exploit people so they neglect other people who also then have no other choice to get exploited until they die. So please let no one ever tell you that, because there is obviously a lot of work to be done, people have to be forced into jobs. Work is a necessary activity, a job is a place where work may or may not be done under artificially miserable conditions (or what economists think are miserable conditions. Dentists get paid so well because everybody thinks it is a horrible job; meanwhile, I've known a fair few, and those who choose it enjoy it well enough! And yes, every office has a Dwight, but those people truly are outliers).

The person who says "no one wants to work anymore" or "without jobs no work will get done" and especially "without us the economy would tank" are lying through their teeth! Especially those people who say that about "tanking the economy". They're trying to artificially tank it right now! To make people stop doing work they deem necessary and start doing jobs that benefit only the corporations!

Work is necessary, and people will always want to work, and work for wages too. Jobs are designed to be prisons under the current conditions. They will only be opportunities if you can freely choose to leave them at any time, with no risk to your wellbeing.

You once said that Daniel really struggled to get down to his tiny self after Anthony was born. Did he really worry that he was always going to be squishy lol? Poor boy, lmao. I can picture him fussing about the bit of extra weight. I don’t think Terry would’ve minded having more to love, considering he went insane for KK3 Daniel. Over here I bet he teased him, but also squished him at all opportunities, hahaha. And then of course, Daniel grows 2 inches and looks like an angel…

😈 They had so much sex, nonnie! The cheeks on that baby boy, both face and 🍑!

Terry was always squeezing him, and being like: "C'mon, love it's exercise!" 😍😆 And Daniel was like "Then why isn't it working 😢😔😭" and Terry is like "Maybe we should do a bit more, just to be on the safe side", and he loves it, though, his plump, rosy, healthy fella with his beautiful eyes and wet shiny lips and kissable face and dat ass, yeah, look at him with all those pups whose work is that hmmm? That's all Terry 😍😋 And Daniel is annoyed that he doesn't fit into his clothes anymore, and sure Terry is like "I'll buy you clothes" and he is like "tailoring visits take time, Terry 🤨" And Terry is like "Stay in and wear a nightie, I don't mind" and as ever he's useless here. And what no he can't diet, his family needs good food don't be ridiculous. It isn't like he lazes around all day - no Sammy, you can't have naphtha, I don't care if it is for science, Eli, you watch Gianni's head now, baby - and then, good, finally it's coming off, but does my nose look bigger, Terry? Terry, love, what are you looking at? Is it my hair?"

And Terry's like:

"Yes, darlin, love... love the hair...🤪😇😎"

So Daniel went into a Heat at Michael’s wedding. Seemed like a good thing, because it forced Terry and him together again. I suppose it also made it easier on Daniel to be touched by his husband like this once more, when the last time…

But what happened in the immediate aftermath? After the Heat ended, and it was just Daniel and Terry and what had happened to bring them here to another country, to that little room.

Was there tension? Nervousness? Relief? Sadness? Fear? Happiness? Awkwardness? How did Terry and Daniel feel? What happened in the day(s) immediately following before they boarded the ship to New York? How were things between them?

I think the right word here is 'raw'. Daniel was exhausted and extremely sensitive. The heat was rough on him, he was angry and sometimes upset at the sensations, only that the need was bigger than the fear, was angry at Terry, while really craving him too, so it was a rollercoaster and afterwards it was pure instinct for the both of them. Upset omega that needs his Alpha, because of course also pregnant omega again. He needed Terry's protection for everything. Wouldn't get out of bed, wouldn't let go of Terry, clung to his sister Ness in the few moments it couldn't be helped (they needed to get back for their things if anything). Wouldn't be alone, kept scolding Ness for not being there more, kept crying, slept like dead, woke up calling for Terry, then sobbed for his puppies in his arms. That was only a day or two, but it felt very long. Even Michael came over for a bit, but that only upset him more, "Why aren't you with your mate you should be with your MATE!!" so Terry sat down with him in the evening sun and sang old Irish ballads into his ear. Another flood of tears when Daniel realised he was pregnant, how could they have the puppy be alone with them when puppy should be with their siblings, "It's only a few days -" "Puppy can hear their voices in the womb shut up what do you know!" He pulled himself together slightly after that, still extremely upset at leaving Ness in Italy - "When are you coming HOME, you're family we NEED you" then in a flood of happy tears when hearing Robby sing the ABC song through the telephone and hearing that Yasmin was determined to catch a crow and keep it for a pet, any minute now, she'd show him, Mama!

Very sweet, very quiet for the boat journey, going absolutely nowhere without Terry. Lots of crying fits, shaking, cuddling, sometimes a smile and a hint of his old cheekiness. He sleeps a lot. When people on the boat watch him worriedly, Terry mouths "With pup!" at them and many assume it's his first pup and spoil him silly. Daniel and Terry don't correct them. It might as well be, with the amount of turmoil they've been through.

When they're home, absolutely full to bursting with the feast Lucille had prepared for them, the puppies all asleep on the car ride over and tucked in with all the kisses, does Daniel finally relax enough to fall asleep on the couch, head lolling against Terry's shoulder.

"Hank"? "Deli sliced" ? ...European?

Putting the cultural misconceptions in there as well, that is some next level worldbuilding. Kudos! I've never heard a Brit or Irishman utter those words in my life. I don't even really know what a deli is - I certainly never encountered one in Ireland or the UK, not by those words. Also in supermarket butcher stations?? Possibly Waitrose, they have almost anything, but they don't cut it out there either, or do they??? M&S Food Courts? Where is this place?

Again, solid commitment to the bit...

If it's any consolation, an American talk show host first visiting The Hague was like: "I thought it was a compound for the ICC? But they have houses and streets and everything, people going everywhere on their cute little bikes!" 🥰

So yeah, Europeans do get described like that by Americans.

Pre-Luna but after Anthony, Daniel seems to be even more lovely, but also extra soft and loving and cuddly. Why is that? What’s made him so…precious? He almost seems to lose his sass and sauciness…and is so sweet he’s almost angelic. If I were Terry I would be sneaking back home to cuddle him all the time 🥰 🥰 🥺 🥺

Omegas are said to get "sweeter with each pup", and that certainly goes for Daniel, but Nonnie, I'm sorry to say it's partly shock. He really, really needs the world to be careful with him. He'd welcome Terry sneaking home to cuddle him.

Anthony being such a cheeky, flirty, happy baby is a godsend - he draws his Mama out a little, makes him laugh, draws out Terry's soft side around Daniel too because he is a Daddy's boy, not that he'd tolerate Mama going off to do something else when Daddy's with him. He wants Mama right there when Daddy tickles him and makes him fly around the room. And Daniel relaxes and has this major growth spurt/glowup. Absolute peak omega. He's still himself but he is so soft, and sweet and he has so many small puppies - three little boys needing all the kisses, three strong Alphas taking on the world and needing him whenever they invariably underestimate how high something is when they jump off of it - he needs to be soft for them, and he wants to be soft for them.

And then Luna. Love isn't even the word. He can spend hours with her in his arms, simply holding her, not moving. He loves them all, more than his life, it's beyond expressing, but Luna is a sort of confirmation - whatever else happens, he's in the right place, in the right life. Everything that came, everything that may yet come - if this love can come to them, to him, they'll make it, there's something fundamentally right about his world.

When they all grow, the sassiness returns too, Nonnie. And however in awe Terry was of this beautiful, sweet, yes, near angelic creature he got to call his mate, part of him's relieved.

Just for fun, are there any specific outfits or clothes (colours?) that Daniel and Terry like to see the other wear? We all know Terry likes that onyx chocker on Danny 😏

What Terry really likes to see his Danny wear are bedroom clothes. Lingerie. I fear that he has a great case of the utility syndrome when it comes to clothing. You see, Terry dresses to blend it with whomever he is with, and if he doesn't want to do that, he tries to fade into the surroundings in another way, better to observe. Which means he doesn't really have a personal taste, other than what the stuff he wears feels like. He'll dress the part, whatever the part is - from extravagant to demure, and for the rest he is all about the feel of certain fabrics. For Danny, it's the macho "The rest of the world doesn't have to know how lovely you are, baby, that is for me, only for me," he is hung up on.

He can go straight to hell with that, as far as Daniel is concerned. Daniel wants Terry to look suave. So dark colours are fine, but accessorise, baby, make it snazzy, rock that collar bar, that pocket square. Fit is everything, I want you to have both eyes and cheekbones that could cut a bitch simply by being looked at. Wear pastels, come on, confuse the world, cut a figure as yourself. Three pieces, or polo shirts, whatever - Terry is a hard man to convince when it comes to that. But he does always like his jewelry, which is why he always gifts it to Danny. Daniel sometimes plays with him by seemingly dressing demurely and still drawing every eye in the room because the fit is immaculate and the accessories - ties, scarves, jewelry, belts, shoes, coat are perfectly put together. Terry cannot win this game nor should he. Daniel is supposed to be a status symbol, he is supposed to add to Terry's cachet simply by visibly being his omega mate - and Madonna mi, he's gonna do it. Sassy little prince even in the sweetest times. What, pastels are demure - not on Daniel they're not, he knows it makes him look like a literal piece of candy, ready to be devoured. But people won't, baby, with you around? Look how strong it makes you look!

[msfbgraves]

I absolutely love Vito and Carmela too! By all accounts they had a happy and loving marriage, so good for them :3 Is Vito your inspiration for Daniel’s dad in Mobland? Is his mom Lucille or Carmela?

Hi Nonnie, if you want to learn more about Daniel's family, I have a lot of these fills archived on my Ao3:

Yes, Vito is the main inspiration, but there's also the pictures of Ralph and Bob on Broadway:

And Cobra Kai canon. So Daniel's father was born Antonio Andolini, who changed his name to Anthony LaRusso because he was extremely good at knifing people to death. His wife is Lucille (who is not unlike the mom in A Bronx Tale), children are Louie/Luigi, Vanessa, Michael/Miguele and Daniel/Daniele. Antonio's younger brother is Vincent LaRusso, who is married to Lisa, with their son Billy.

Which, you know is still 90% Vito, of course, but he ages not into Brando but into De Niro's other characters. Michael is still 100% Al Pacino, but he's not acting as Don. I like Daniel LaRusso with Michael because they're each others inversions: two beautiful men, one with all Vito's cunning and ambition but none of his heart and one with all of his heart, plenty of cunning but none of his ambition. The Fredo character here is Louie, who doesn't mind being a henchman as long as his mate Anoush is safe and happy and his children like him. Michael is rather happily married to Apollonia after Daniel's urging to for heaven's sake stop pestering sweet Kay. Michael's children are Antonio (because Daniel beat him to Anthony) and Mary, for now.

I'm sorry to not include Carmela, but I love Daniel's dynamic with his Mom, and how she might react to Terry!

I was too deep into Harry Potter lore not to have it pop into my head watching Disney's Mary Poppins. R*wling demonstrably took half of what she wrote from there. But I do like what this crossover tells you about what a cool person Mary Poppins is:

Completely rejects the world order the Potter-related sagas are wanting us to cheer. Isolation from almost the whole world? Nonsense. She's in the world. No visible magic in front of non magical people? (I feel she'd reject the word "Muggle"). Nonsense, again, and she does not suffer nonsense.

Wandless, nonverbal magic and she doesn't even blink.

No knowledge of the nonmagical world? I beg your pardon? That is no way to live. What about all those poor children cast out by the wizards? She'll not have that. She'll find them herself. The Ministry and the Mugwumps - silly, borderline idiotic institutions - can watch her.

No feeding non magical children potions? Edwardian drinks are hardly safe for them, at least she knows what's in them here.

Of course she can levitate without either wand or broomstick. Like it's hard! [Only Voldemort is seen doing that in the books]

Of course she likes a non magical man, thank you, and non magical people can perceive magic just fine. And she'll not be Obliviating anyone afterwards. That causes brain damage and that will not do.

She does all this magic wandless and nonverbal. Do you really want to try her? You do not. The only reason she is not ruling the magical world is that it is a corrupt, soulless institution that is entirely unworthy of her efforts.

She's taken what it has to offer and turned her back on it, only to periodically return to give the Wizengamot a scathing talking to. She's found at least two children in the past five years whose magic had started to curdle inside of them. She's straigthened that right out. No, they're no longer magical and will need to be stricken off the Hogwarts records. Yes, they're happily attending boarding school instead of blowing up half of Yorkshire and they may thank her later. She's been here quite long enough.

You mentioned that in Mobverse, The Sound of Music’s Captain would be an Alpha which makes perfect sense, considering his clueless behavior around his own children lol. Would Maria be an omega, then? 

But now The Godfather cast!

Vito and Sonny are both 100% Alphas. Would Michael Corleone still be a beta or an Alpha JUST IMAGINE if Michael actually was…an omega. Lol. The idea amuses me greatly. Anyway, I’m conflicted on if Fredo is a beta too, or a loser omega. Sorry Freddie, still love ya ♥️ 

And Connie…Connie confuses me most of all. She leans omega in movie 1, but more beta in movie 2. And 3…who can say? Carmela is either an omega or beta.

In my universe, there is fierce debate over Maria. Most read her as beta, as this is Hollywood, they're not going to be transgressive and betas as second marriage mates is very well accepted. Also Maria is very outgoing and independent in story, very ready to cede territory to the Baroness, also planning to be a nun and therefore childless, and takes no shit. Betas, women especially, are fiercely protective over her as a bonafide romantic heroine who also wins the love of all these puppies, and the handsome Alpha. Like, omegas are not better parents or mates, see the Captain being smitten with Maria.

There is an omega counter argument saying that Maria simply was an omega with a delayed presentation, what with having been around beta women all her youth. The second they really connect, Maria may have suddenly presented off screen, in seclusion in the convent. This they substantiate with the fact that once married, Maria's demeanour is peak omega, leaving much of the action to her Alpha mate.

This rubs betas the entirely wrong way ["show us the bitemark, then, where is it, where?!" "Not EVERYTHING is about YOU!!"], which I find funny to imagine, and goodness, there's merit to both readings, though I lean towards beta too. Jane Eyre definitely is, to go for another classic. The only one in TSOM who is 100% omega is Uncle Max! 😄

Oh the Godfather. Michael omega? Now that would be interesting! I think he is beta, though, always have. Because he is so detached, impassionate most of the time. Dangerous because of his very clinical approach to power.

If Fredo were omega, that would solve so many problems for the poor bean! Doesn't have to hold his own, simply needs to be married off! Wish that he were. He's not Alpha, he doesn't have the fire. If he is beta, then the whole "I am your older brother!" makes more sense.

What about Tom? He too could be beta, but I feel he is Alpha, just not Sicilian style, and therefore feels he's "not Alpha enough". It's the German in him. German Irish is a hard combination to wrangle, I say this as the daughter of a German who was too passionate for Germany, and now I am too passionate for Holland, and feel strangely at ease in Ireland, but like, still with a German sense of caution, just like Tom.

Carmela is omega. 100%. Perfect spouse, sweet, beautiful, and with zero interest in getting involved in the business, or building anything other than a safe space for her mate, her everything, and her children.

Connie has been raised as a Sicilian traditional girl, and there would be very little difference in expectations of a Sicilian beta or omega girl in my book. That's why she is so hard to read. But an omega would remarry yesterday and start a new family and would probably never even want to become Michael's consigliere. No, she's beta.

Are Alphas in this verse built bigger than betas and omegas? Are betas average sized on the whole, and omegas small and “delicate”? Or are there petite Alphas and tall/built omegas? Are betas diverse in size/height? Terry is very tall and large, Michael average/short, Daniel small and slender after all; is that the standard?

Honestly, Nonnie, I don't know enough about biology to answer that question. I mean, I know that on average, women are slighter and shorter than men, all else being equal (which it never is), but has that something to do with childbearing, i.e. would that go for omega men too? Is it even true that most women are shorter than most men? There's tall muscular women and short slight men around plenty.

So, no, not really, it's more about their air, demeanor, who knows maybe even scent. Like, everyone in the Silverusso fandom seems to agree that Daniel is the poster child for our idea of an omega. I don't think that's primarily about height. Mr. Miyagi isn't tall, not even in Okinawa, and no one is calling him an omega in fanfic. Meanwhile they can make Daniel beat Chozen and everyone still calls him "Bambi". That's why I think certain characters in omegaverse are a little more at ease. Sam is not constantly trying to deny her aggression, she's Alpha. Nobody is calling Daniel 'out' on being like a girl, he's omega. Amanda I've often written as Alpha, I'm just having fun here making her omega, the poor girl cannot win. Jessica's levelheadedness makes her beta in my book. Moon's sweetness is not mocked, she's omega. Miguel I can't clock. Could go any way. Aisha is obviously Alpha. Also people play with it in universe, too.

Omegas seem to be super-birthers and have happy pregnancies. Do omegas ever have still-births or miscarry? Do they ever die? In a hypothetical situation, how would Daniel and Terry deal with a miscarriage? Or, how would Terry cope with losing Daniel during labor?

The whole reason why omegas as a gender developed, in my worldview, is because they do not die in childbirth, always carry to term (if they can't sustain a pregnancy they don't get pregnant), and do not have stillbirths. Either they both live or, hypothetically, they both die.

The exception, of course, is getting in an accident or getting sick or poisoned. Even then they'll probably both make it, but that could lead to rather agonising births. But omegas survive crazily well. That's why abortion for them isn't a thing, they'd have to kill both mother and fetus to terminate a pregnancy. It can't be done.

But they do get sick and they can die a little after a pregnancy. They're made so that humans don't die out, not so they never die.

So no, no miscarriages and not during labor, but if you shoot them the body would likely go into overdrive to deliver and then die, and they'll deliver a pup delirious with malaria but even if they'll survive better than a beta woman in the same situation they're not immortal.

Terry is deadly afraid of disease for that reason. You can't punch it and he as an Alpha would barely be allowed on a ward. If they let an Alpha in, it's only when things are very good or catastrophically bad. His Mammy died of disease, his Daddy in a drunken work accident, his kid sister died of disease and other than as first responders Alphas cannot become doctors (and like he could have gone to study anyway)! He'd want to kidnap a physician, a researcher, anyone to save his love, but for doctors in that verse that happens all the time, they have very good bodyguards. He'd try to bribe anyone he could, he'd beg Michael on bended knee to go in there and SAVE HIM, he'd post outside of the hospital, he'd petition the Vatican, he'd plan to bomb the UN, whatever. I think John Kreese would have to drug him, like he wouldn't do the same for his Tory and Betsy! The problem would be that all his plans would be scarily clever too. Unhinged, but clever.

What is more likely is that Daniel would make it but for some reason be weakened by a wound or poisoning. I think any Terry would make "getting my mate well" into a life or death mission. He doesn't sleep. He's at his bedside as soon as he's home. Pup's not let out of his sight. He wants the best doctors on call, and hell what does he care, the most corruptable doctors as well. Robby's becoming a physician, too, hadn't he heard? You can follow your dreams after you get an M.D., not a moment sooner. That is final!

Good thing it didn't happen.

Daniel and Terry have some Big and Serious Fights but n the marriage. But what are some stupid, silly, or petty things they fight about lol? Or just things that annoy them about the other?

Daniel is annoyed by the fact you can't ever tell Terry "no" about anything, but you need to resort to high end mental gymnastics. He teases him about getting overexcited. Terry is annoyed by Daniel's hero worship of his Pop, and the existence of Michael LaRusso, and the fact that he feels Daniel flirts too much. Terry teases him about his belief in the superiority of Italian cuisine above all else, his fawnlike cuteness and slight naieveté. Daniel teases Terry about his fear of Sister George. Must be because he has such a dirty mind 😎
