    “But I go to work so it isn’t faiiiiiiir if they don’t die in the gutter!”

    -Someone struggling to make rent/mortgage, and having 95% of the value they produce extracted to run up the ego scores of our con-men owners.

    They propagandize us through the media they own, and the curriculum they influence, to look down and to the side for who to blame, because our benevolent job creators would never work against us, would they? It’s in-fucking-sane.

    🤮

      It’s ironic because the cost of labor would be cheaper if the economic conditions that cause homelessness didn’t exist. I wouldn’t have to demand a six-digit salary if I could maintain my standard of living on five digits.
