		The Los Angeles fls are better paid than any others in the United States, but they are also the most segregated from the flaunted affluence of California.
		But the repulsive absurdity of certain hierarchies, and the fact that the entire world of the commodity is directly blindly and automatically to their protection, leads people to see — the moment they engage in a negating practice — that every hierarchy is absurd.
