It's like someone coming from a culture where people patiently stand in line and then you have someone from a culture where people are used to jostling for position, it creates friction in a population of people who wait their proper turn. (and vice versa would also be true the former always complaining about people not being orderly)

I do know how a conveyor belt works. Have you heard of contingency planning? A soccer player is out on the field for, 45 minutes? Have you seen contracts that restricts a player's ability to use a restroom?
OK, just in case my point is not obvious: these are _examples_. These examples are illustrating a thesis that certain jobs can have good reasons for restricting employees access to the bathroom. Of course, I don't have any idea of what goes into soccer players contracts, because that's not the point.
45 minutes would be no different than having to attend meetings during which you would not be allowed to leave to use a restroom.

There's a lot of odd insinuations and expectations in this piece. I found particularly strange the part where he talks about his joy in talking communist politics in Berkeley and then immediately muses about how to make these skills 'marketable' and about his resentment that he might not be rewarded with a comfortable bourgeois middle-class existence. Feels like there are a lot of unstated assumptions and arguments b…
Or abusing the system to score income on the sale of his house. I nearly snorted at that point.

yes but I believe you need a certain amount of karma
You can't downvote articles, just comments (at least with my karma). IIRC articles move down if they fail to receive up votes and collect comments.
