    You will slave for your neo-feudal overlords or you’ll be sent to prison, where you’ll slave for your neofeudal overlords.

    Or you’ll die. That’s okay too.

    Let me get this right… They want to roll back regulations, protections, & pay but now want us to work at the American factories so that manufacturing can come to the US. At that point might as well go live & work in Vietnam, Mexico or wherever else. At least there inflation isn’t as much as a problem so you can still afford a place to live.

    That’s what public education trains young minds to be. Builders and maintainers of the infrastructure.

      …Which is not the worst thing in the world if they’re treated and compensated fairly.
      But they won’t be, of course.

    That’s what happens when we lionize “job creators” because we think that is the same as “wealth creators”

    I’ve worked in factories for the bulk of my life…be at your work station for a certain time, don’t be on the toilet too much, don’t talk too much, always be doing something even though you’re on target, managers or team leaders or whatever micromanaging you. It’s fucking wank.

    What a shocker. The old way is new again. Too bad His forefathers sold it all down the river for profit in the 70’s and 80’s. They can only move in reverse. Kinda sad and somehow they think it will work.

      the people who suggest this always excuse themselves out of doing it.

      Are you suggesting that you’re not good at being a slave but you can be a slave master?
