Truth is, we should ALL be paid much more, probably around 15%-20% more, considering how much ceo salaries have risen and the prices of everything.
But nope, let the one sided hoarding continue
Hoarding is considered a mental illness*.
[* Unless it's hoarding money. Then it's praised.]
This is it right here. $20/hr wouldn't even seem too outrageous if compensation had kept pace with productivity and profit margins. If anything, it'd be on the lower end and you wouldn't be able to sustain a decent living without splitting the cost up with someone else.
Iirc it should be around 25 bucks if minimum wage keeps up with inflation.
We should thrive, not just survive. Yall have no idea how much has been stolen from us. Me neither. Who knows what could have been if we weren't just complete shitters 24/7.
But republicans told me the sky would fall? /s
Oh honey, no. Right direction, but no. Very very dew people get even half the value they create for their masters in the rare slivers where they're allowed to do real work.
Surplus labor value. Wouldn't be a big deal if we all equally owned all the businesses we work for. That surplus labor value would still flow to the workers.
But while we suffer a capitalist waynof life, those funds are siphoned upwards to the 1%, who then use the money stolen from us to purchase the government over time.
This is why end stage capitalism is not preventable with reforms. You just delay the inevitable. The early 20th century labor movements only bought us a little bit of time. All of those people who fought, lost, suffered, died... it was all for just a fuckin delay?
What a waste.
Agree. But also remember its literally ending the world too.
