That would end the issue overnight especially if there was a come-to-Jesus option. Theres just no disincentive and all the incentive in the workd to be a total fucker. US' biggest problem permalink fedilink source parent [–] AlexLost@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago This is not anywhere close to reality. You are already a slave, can you stop working and go enjoy life for a while? Didn't think so. We certainly let them take our worth away though, you are right there. Workers, United, are stronger than all of "them" combined, and it is exactly why they have worked very diligently to convince people that things like "unions" are not good for you and will hurt your employment, when on fact it guarantees you a fairer slice of the pie. Still far from perfect, but we have more power together than we ever will alone. permalink fedilink source parent
