A shotgun to your lips in the middle of the night would hand the bargaining power right back to labor, too, Danny. Hypothetically. Theoretically. This is in no way a call to violence; merely a reminder of the precarity of parasitism. God bless.
Such bargaining power can also be obtained via an expression of displeasure by the working class wherein a rectangle with a rope and blade is utilized to separate the top of some organic waste from the rest of it.
A guillotine will hand all the power to the employees
ВСЯ ВЛАСТЬ СОВЕТАМ
I really hope we have guillotines
I actually don’t disagree with the title, but perhaps not in the way the author intended. The bosses will absolutely use recession as an excuse to wrench the hands of employees and claim they’ve got entire crowds dying to get the job for the pay they (parasites) are willing to offer.
And I do agree that it will be a “rude awakening” for the younger generations. An eye opener for just how rotten the system is, how much it is designed from the ground up to suck the workers dry.
Every crisis in capitalism sees massive wealth transfer up. It is intended to work like that.
Well yes, I understand that
Wow what a piece of shit coping dickhead.
Edit: private medical care ceo to boot 🙄
How many more “rude awakenings” are young people supposed to take before the decide the system needs to be replaced?
Seriously. The system is just plain rude.
Honestly the most disturbing aspect of this to me is that a CEO has been seeing homeless masses growing for years now and multiple times worse than Cuba (a blockaded island nation) child malnutrition rates but it’s just NOW that we are in for a rude awakening. I just cannot wrap my mind around the fact that words like this are coming from people with so, so, SO much, pure sociopaths. Even from a practical perspective if I were a CEO I’d be talking to other CEOs like FDR did back in the day. We gotta take some short term losses to keep the peace and stability, at least work with the govt to make a basic housing program and some subsidies for healthy foods. They just saw BLM, imagine that but when a good chunk of the population has missed 2-3 days of meals and barely afford the gas to get to work.
pure sociopaths
Absolutely.
at least work with the govt to make a basic housing program and some subsidies for healthy foods
The thing is, such programs exist and are currently funded far beyond what would be necessary for them to be effective, it’s just pure graft is gobbling it up.
For example in Los Angeles, the city with the largest homeless population in the country, spends about 2-3 billion per year to NOT house people. They build these shitty apartments in shitty neighborhoods with the lowest quality possible, to such a degree that they should only rent for about $200-$300 per month with how shitty they are, then on top of that they all have rules like prisons, and on top of that they are only given to a specific class of " working families", i.e. single women 20-35yrs with children under 10yrs, and no one else, certainly not men. And not only that but the cost to the city, per unit, to build this housing is $800k-$1.2 million. They then house people for an average of 9 months or less. Meanwhile, for $800k, they could give a person an entire single family home, standalone house with yard, free and clear for the same amount. That person would be housed for the rest of their life.
That’s the gap between how much is spent on housing and how much housing is actually given.
One can only conclude that it’s on purpose. That they want people to be desperate so they have to take shit jobs for shit wages so that some piece of shit can sit on his ass and live a life of extreme waste.
The only way to fix it is revolution.
Yeah I thought my rude awakening was 2008, or 2016, or or the last 3 years of constant rude awakening
I don’t work.
How do you live then?
My dad works and we live on a five acres plot. So me and mom do our own work. Like I spend time trying to maintain the property. She volunteers and makes some money. Trying to get our business going again. There is a lot of stuff I’d resort to before becoming a permanent wage slave honestly. I can see how angry that statement makes you guys.

Well without context it did look quite suspicious. So your family is a self-employed farm or something? I am geniunely curious, having little to no experience of life outside of wage slavery.
My dad isn’t self employed but he’s with a smaller tech/infrastructure company he has a large part in. I used to work with him briefly but needed to break.
We have this property. We used to farm chickens and stuff but now me and mom are trying to build up the land again and make it a lot nicer and more productive.
Me and her both have business interests for example I like to design electronics and she likes to do design and produce shirts etc…
Let’s see how much “bargaining power” these rich assholes will have when we bring out the guillotines, because that is exactly what happens to corrupt, inept rulers who ignore the people’s demands.
Not if there’s nothing left to give
That means anyone who started work in the last dozen years is about to experience their first tough job market. It means that younger employees – not all of them, but too many of them – will need to adjust their views of work and what they can demand of the workplace. The balance of power is about to shift back to employers. >
Translation: Shut up and obey your master.
