It is taken for granted that workers should receive their pay partly in kind, in the form of medical care provided by the employer. how come? why single out medical care? surely food is no less essential to life than medical care. why is it not at least as logical for workers to be required to buy their food at the company store as to be required to buy their medical care at the company store?

More From Milton Friedman

Life is a thin narrowness of taken-for-granted, a plank over a canyon in a fog. there is something under our feet, the taken-for-granted. a table is a table, food is food, we are we - because we don't question these things. and science is the enemy because it is the questioner. faith saves our souls alive by giving us a universe of the taken-for-granted.
Life Taken Science
Where people work longest and with least leisure, they buy the fewest goods. no towns were so poor as those of england where the people, from children up, worked fifteen and sixteen hours a day. they were poor because these overworked people soon wore out -- they became less and less valuable as workers. therefore, they earned less and less and could buy less and less.

[i]t's an honor to be a food stamp president. food stamps feed the hungry. food stamps save the children. food stamps help the farmer. food stamps help the truck driver. food stamps help the warehouse. food stamps help the store. food stamps hire people and feed people. food stamps save people from starvation and malnutrition. ... give president barack obama a big hand. show your love. show your appreciation.

Every theory in philosophy, which is built on pure conjecture, is an elephant; and every theory that is supported partly by fact, and partly by conjecture, is like nebuchadnezzar's image, whose feet were partly of iron, and partly of clay.
Philosophy Elephants Iron
It's no fun to be yellow. maybe i'm not all yellow. i don't know. i think maybe i'm just partly yellow and partly the type that doesn't give much of a damn if they lose their gloves. one of my troubles is, i never care too much when i lose something - it used to drive mother crazy when i was a kid. some guys spend days looking for something they've lost. i never seem to have anything that if i lost it i'd care too much. maybe that's why i'm partly yellow. it's no excuse, though. it really isn't. what you should be is not yellow at all.

Faith is precisely the paradox that the single individual as the single individual is higher than the universal, is justified before it, not as inferior to it but superior - yet in such a way, please note, that it is the single individual who, after being subordinate as the single individual to the universal, now by means of the universal becomes the single individual who as the single individual is superior, that the single individual as the single individual stands in an absolute relation to the absolute.

I used to think that prizes were damaging and divisive, until i got one, and now they seem sort of meaningful and important.
Meaningful Real Thinking
What does purpose mean? it means the deepest desire for our short lives to mean something. . . . to speak a language of purpose is to return to first principles and to be able to answer, in plain english, the plain questions of why? why should we chip in to help someone else? why should we defer gratification? why should we care about the long term? why should we trust anyone who seems to be limiting our ability to do what we want?
