Back during apartheid in South Africa a bus would bring hippy protestors daily to protest in front of General Dynamic’s facility in Tallahassee. GD owned a company in SA which paid equal wages for equal work. But, it was in evil SA. Then, GD’s lawyer found that UFS’ retirement fund had a much larger investment in SA than GD did. The protests died instantly. (Then, they started working the political angle to make GD’s operation more difficult.)

I, Pencil. . . in which our intrepid hero, a pencil, explains that it was created not by Eberhard Faber alone but, in effect, by society, including not only Eberhard Faber but the people who provided the wood, graphite, etc - but also the machinery which those people used to provide those supplies - and also the producers of the food the people who provided those supplies ate, and the cars they drove, and so forth and so on.
So, indeed, society - not government, but society - made the pencil. Including, yes, the providers of gasoline and electricity, and the feedstocks required to produce them. To think that you can exclude any component of society in the production of anything is naive.

We used to call the students there “Swarthmore College Turkeys” when I was growing up in Swarthmore years ago - sounds as though things haven’t changed at all.....
