    I genuinely hate people like you, how else are my employers’ children have their two cars and a house each? Think about other people for a change.

    Because muh economy. Capitalism will always “push the bill” on what they can do. shite gov doesn’t/wouldn’t keep up with regulations to aide the working class.

    My question is what’s the point in eternal growth? Why would one cut employees but boost executives? Money corrupts? Or is it them “getting theirs”

      I hate that term “eternal growth” and similar phrases, because it makes it seem like society as a whole grows eternally. It’s just larger increments for the ruling class. That’s it. The general public gets fucked for the ruling class.

    capitalism has always carried the implied threat of starvation for those unable or unwilling to labor in order to enrich the capital owning class.

    this sort of vapid whitewashing/revisionism is just ‘maga’ for neoliberals, and is entirely devoid of substance.

    show me a period of prosperity under capitalism and I’ll show you a marginalized population subjugated.

    Because we live in a society where we literally need currency to survive. We pay to live and live to work to give our production to billionaires.

    More unions is a step closer to being able to general strike.

    It has become a gatcha game, you put time in and you might get something worthwhile out of it, or you might get more poverty
