Obviously, we all know that this system is unraveling. The system that has always worked against the people is working harder than ever before while we struggle.
And what I find so painful is that, at the base of all of the individual systems existing within the American Workforce, we just find people who are burnt out, exhausted, and traumatized by a pandemic we still haven’t gotten through. Our government and the oligarchs are going to do all they can to convince us that it’s over while we continue to suffer.
This came up for me today because I am not getting paid. I do gig work because I have a really hard time working in one place due to my brain. I’ve been waiting for checks from a couple places for weeks now because they’re dealing with turnover, new hires who no one has trained, and burnout. So when we suffer from the exhaustion this system forces, it puts more of us in tough positions.
I can’t blame anyone for this but the oligarchs perpetuating this system so they keep making money. We, the people, are suffering. We cannot continue this way for much longer.
