As long as private equity is still legal, everyone will pay, sooner or later. You can't legalize gross larceny and harmful business practices and expect everything is just going to be okay.
Maybe if every mainline politician wasn't a literal proud blazing psychopath with a low price for ownership, we wouldn't be in this position.
You think it's not as much true of the Democuhnts as the insane nazified GOP? Please, people. How many generations do we have to go through this??? It's a brutal and ruthless Wall Street dictatorship through and through. Is that what we want!?
The two-headed snake will eat your face EVERY time! News flash, they are BOTH the party of Leopards that Eat People's Faces!! Do we really want this?? I'm tired of my face get eaten, in small ways or big, what about y'all???
Vote for the two-headed purple snake (the Red-Blue single-party) and you vote for Wall Street serfdom, zero personal rights, climbing poverty, and an avoidable premature death (unless you're very lucky and the intentional depredations of public policy in this country, state, and your local area pass over your house).

@tsbrownie this is why laws are so fkg necessary, and grossly, so far we haven't been able to get them. These FILTH will never do the right thing. Their greed is beyond anything and they will NEVER serve anyone but themselves. The predatory sociopathy is stunning. What's gross is that we can't get decent people elected who will curtail this.
Mass poverty, limited means and insecurities exist the world over for one main reason, an owner or executive class at the top that refuses to pay anything but asshole lint to the vast majority of their employees / producers / workers. Even for those with higher skills and education are affected by this.
Without iron fist laws that recognize that all workers are firstly, HUMAN, and secondly, as a group and individually,
equal to if not superior to ANYONE in that c-suite, nothing will change! It's been a fight since the dawn of the industrial age if not before. Even many educated workers are not getting paid their due- just look around, proof it's not hard to find. Prophets, labor value, and wages have been stolen for generation upon generation in this country and it's going on right now to most of us because the people who set the wage level (employers, companies) do not care, are selfish, and have huge personal greed and self-interest to satisfy first. So when laws don't step in to curtail this, we get what we have now- 80% of the world's population (hell maybe more) being cheated out of a fair return of their labor efforts.

@tsbrownie I don't know what the hell I always say that triggers the censorbot but it's a real shame because I feel these conversations are important. One of us is going to get elected to public office one of these days and push for changes. In the meantime it's important to try to have these conversations so other people can understand WHY it's wrong to belittle, take advantage of, exploit, abuse, dehumanize and/or underpay workers of all stripes, all backgrounds, ALL educational levels. The fact that predatory business practices have been normalized in our culture for so long is one of the greatest sins of this entire country's existence.
Using or abusing a given business's workforce are social evils that need to end. Should have ended a long time ago. Using or exploiting someone else for personal gain is wrong, especially in the workplace, and it should never be legally sanctioned.
Everyone has a right to be happy where they work, to be treated well, to have positive working conditions, to receive all possible safety measures, and to be rewarded properly for the effort they provide.
Another problem- a lot of companies are not set up to receive and consider input from all employees. The middle and lower ranks might have many valuable ideas all day long but if they don't feel empowered to pass them on, what good is that? It's true that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link- and leadership should not be afraid to consider act on ideas from anyone- all while giving proper credit where it's due. In most operations only the executive board gets to make major decisions, rarely hearing from or considering what the lower ranks have to say. I don't think this works very well, and I don't agree with it. For one, if there is a decision that affects everyone, shouldn't everyone, at least those above a certain level, get a vote?
There's got to be a better way where everyone in the company feels open to giving their suggestions or requests through the proper channels with at least some assurance they will be considered by an appropriate person.
In many cases when there is a suggestion box or feedback system in place it's more performative than actual. It would be nice to change this. With humane and respectable people at the helm, it can.
In larger companies it's rare to have a workforce or employee representative on the governing board as is the law in Germany. That should be the law HERE. Who's going to stick up for the workforce's interests better than themselves? Can't count on higher management, they may or may not care or have any awareness. There are extremely moral and ethical ways to run a business, from small to super size, but without hard and fast laws I don't see how we're going to get there. If most businesses were capable of caring about their employees and their in-company practices I would think they would be doing it already. I am sure a few do but it seems to me that most do not.
