I think the point is we are heading in the direction of more inequality where people feel like slaves to the economy.

I think the point is we are heading in the direction of more inequality where people feel like slaves to the economy.
- merpnderp 9y agoSlaves because they have to work at all? Or slaves because flipping burgers doesn't pay for for a McMansion? Because someone else makes millions does that absolve someone else from working at all at whatever value they can provide?
- jamespo 9y agothose are definitely the only 2 options
- zanny 9y agoMore like a studio apartment today costs as much as a McMansion did per month 20 years ago. Wages went up 30%, price of housing went up 300%. The relevant statistic is that there are simply not enough jobs paying living wages relative to the number of people that need them. Flipping burgers is not a livable job in 90% of the places where corporations want burgers flipped (ie fast food joints in cities where cost of living is astronomical).
