Clicklist: Rational addictions

Posted by Siel in clicklist (Sunday August 5, 2007 at 8:34 am)

>> The logic of caffeine — and maybe even heroin? — addiction. One theory: “Addicts choose their poison despite knowing that it is habit-forming and dangerous, and they do so because they expect the highs to outweigh the lows.”

>> Walmart’s addicted to free teenage labor — legal in Mexico. Teens labor under the sign “OUR VOLUNTEER PACKERS COLLECT NO SALARY, ONLY THE GRATUITY THAT YOU GIVE THEM. SUPERAMA THANKS YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING.” Wal-Mart de Mexico’s reported $280 million in profits in the 2nd quarter of this year.
