This just was so promising; a rise of the the working class against the corporate injustice, combined with leverage from “labor shortages”, an opportunity that could change history forever, but instead…
What we got here is a bunch of people scoring internet points. Yes, there's many shitty employers, yes you were fired unfairly, yes you were asked to do more than your job description asked for, but more than anything else, yes you were paid less than what you need to afford your own life…
But, this is a place to complain and pad each other in the back. No one is asking the important questions here. What would a work reform look like? Who would support it? Who we elect to represent us?
Obviously, demanding and getting $100.00 per hour minimum wage would make that money immediately become the new $10.00 per hour as inflation would sky rocket even more. Your local lawn care guy would charge twice as much due to cost of labor. Is the answer in a tax reform, in unionizing, or is it in the boycotts?
So what are we doing here? Nothing regarding taxation reform, unions, laws to be changed, or anything of substance. This, a leverage that will be, eventually, lost, came down to whining about employers and everyone here is happy to comfort to that.
