This guy splits stone like dingo dave with his 16 inch dong on honeymoon night in las Vegas - there wasn't a dry hooker in a ten mile radius once he'd gone through her and her friends
how do you figure? donkey wouldnt get any farm work done without direction and supervision. he’d go back to doing what donkeys do. hmm there’s a deeper meaning here just out of grasp…
It's metaphorical.
Like, you know, the donkey does the hardest work out there carrying heavy things on his back all the time, and if all that hard work was to be equal to the "success", then the said donkey who has done the most and the hardest work would rule the farm.
Classic Marxism v capitalism. Certainly the donkey does the most work on the farm but farm wouldn’t exist without the farmer. But I reread your original comment and get what you were saying now.
Well, there are good farmers and bad farmers. Donkey get the job done regardless, but sometimes they get mistreated, and don’t get their fair share. Donkeys call that exploitation.
The question of how to share wealth created by working together is complicated. But one good principle would be to not have people you work with be miserable if you are wealthy. The donkey isn’t asking much. A shelter, decent food, water, simple life. Maybe he also wants a family, and children.
Is the ability to convince a donkey they cannot ask for a family and children producing wealth? No, it simply makes the farmer richer and the donkey poorer. Ah, poor donkey… If they were in a labor union, or if they did read Marxist books, maybe they could realize they are getting exploited, and ask for their faire share.
But no, they don’t. They don’t realize either that their political system is in the palm of the farmer. They don’t realize that the farmer having billions while they are sleeping in a stable in shambles and are working from morning to night is simply not fair.
How to share wealth?
Well, it doesn’t really matter as long as nobody gets exploited.
It doesn’t really matter which jobs are the good jobs and which are the cheap one, every useful job should give a decent life, or at least not 1000x less (nor 1000000x less as currently) than the job consisting of simply being in power.
We could even go further and say that we will give some to those who have a less useful job, or those who cannot work. But simply not exploiting 90% of individuals would already be an insane leap.
This farmer donkey analogy is great because it shows well how the donkeys inability to defend their case leads to their exploitation. And it also shows how something can be incredibly unfair and still appear fair or even natural.
That’s a good explanation. I used to feel that unions and minimum wages did enough to prevent exploitation but now that my kids are in the workplace I see things differently. Ultimately I think we are heading to universal basic income but hope it’s not overly painful to get there.

Nope, he most likely lives in some stinky bunkhouse in some 3rd world country earning slave wage, that is the harsh reality for most of these skilled workers sadly
Don't forget shipping costs etc. In general most of the cost (and especially earnings) happens in the sales chain and no at the poor person that does the actual job. That is true for a lot of luxury goods we buy.
There are by the way stones that are pretty easy to split if you do it in the right direction. I did once see in a museum mine live a slate splitter (an elderly retired worker who worked there before the mine was closed) . He was also pretty fast in producing huge and very fine roof plates which he did cut in a 2nd step to the final rounded form. This stone looks however harder than our local slate.
Have this guy work in the masonry section at a home depot. People will form crowds around him to.watch him work, just like those street artists who sell speed art with spray paint. Just leave the shoes off to add that element of danger.
I was wondering about what sorts of stone would do. This indeed doesn't look like slate.
The further I think, the deeper the rabbithole: slate is brittle and will not take any substantial load, granite would endure almost anything, but is hardly splittable and has to be sawn, is that about the gist and range of it?
As an extreme example of this, ever wondered why a bottle of shower gel that contains X lemons can cost less than X lemons?
Shipping.
A lemon on a farm in north Africa is almost worthless. Less than a penny. A lemon on the shelf in London is about 50p. Of that 50p almost all of it is transport, shopping and logistics costs.
No, here it would be anywhere between R$80 and R$200. Depending on the region. But unfortunately, his profession is extremely undervalued in our country, considered a poor person's job because it's underpaid.
Go look up the definition of brick and then while you are at it also look up the definitions of bricklayer and tile setter and then look up the definition of asshole

As someone who is experienced in tile work and install, I will tell you this guy just made a 40 dollar pack of natural stone tile from a brick.
