(1) The color of a person's collar (blue, white, pink) does not determine whether one's labour is productive or unproductive [of surplus value]. (2) Why do you "know" she is an unproductive worker? She's not working for the state and being paid out of state revenues (unless there are state-run dental services in North Dakota). She's not part of management, is she? Her labour isn't for the purposes of realizing surplus value (e.g. advertising), is it? Jerry
