Anything but paying people

[–] doctortofu@piefed.social 8 points 1 day ago

In this fucked up capitalist dystopia we're living in, the rich and powerful will sooner bring back slavery (not that it ever fully disappeared) than pay people living wages for their work...

And we, the people will bend over and take it, because we are all docile fucking cowards - I include myself in this assessment too.

Not to sound unhinged, but TSMT Why does so much pain have to be dispersed before the obvious root issue is addressed? Hasn't this been an embarrassingly obvious repeat mistake for too long?

I guess the only thing we can learn from history is that we really can't learn from it at all

Anything and everything but paying people is the rule

Yeah I know. Good forbid we pay someone $25 an hour to do a demanding job with high stakes real world implications.

And people wonder why healthcare in America sucks. Slaves didn't work hard, or efficiently, and that hasn't changed.

When there are no good jobs, despite how smart you are, or how much you care, you're a fucking slave. Break the chains, unite, take action swiftly and thoroughly under cover of night.
