Pluralistic: "Flexible labor" is a euphemism for "derisking capital" (10 Nov 2025)


Blind justice holding a set of scales aloft. Her head has been replaced with the hostile red eye of HAL 9000 from Stanley Kubrick's '2001: A Space Odyssey.' On the scales stand a worker and a millionaire, in belligerent postures. The millionaire's head has been replaced with the enshittification poop emoji, with angry eyes and a black, grawlix-scrawled bar over its mouth.

The ruins of the Temple of Jupiter, taken in the late 18th century, overlooking a stretch Lebanon. It has been emblazoned with the 1970s-era logo for the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business. Before it stands a figure taken from an early 1900s illustrated bible, depicting a Hebrew priest making an offering to the golden calf at the foot of Mt Sinai. The priest's head has been replaced with the head of Milton Friedman. The calf has been adorned with a golden top-hat and a radiating halo of white light.

A large group of businessmen sitting on, and standing behind, a long midcentury sofa. Their heads have been replaced with the glaring red eye of HAL 9000 from Stanley Kubrick's '2001: A Space Odyssey.' Before them float a huge pair of clasping hands. Centered between those hands is a figure in an old-fashioned hazmat suit.

Behind the man, framed in the van's doorway, is the glaring red eye of HAL9000 from Stanley Kubrick's '2001: A Space Odyssey.'

A 1950s delivery man in front of a van. The image has been altered. The man's head has been replaced with a horse's head. The man is now wearing an Amazon delivery uniform gilet. The packages are covered with Amazon shipping tags, tape and logos. The van has the Amazon 'smile' logo and Prime wordmark. Behind the man, framed in the van's doorway, is the glaring red eye of HAL9000 from Stanley Kubrick's '2001: A Space Odyssey.'
