lmao do you really think strikes are a viable strategy in the modern era?
union busters have completely ripped apart the cobweb of power between basic workers which is overkill considering moral standards among leadership are so low that 99% of the time they are bribed into submission
The myth of labor exploitation in the west is comically moronic. Factory line workers were paid huge premiums simply because demand was so high and the threat to hold machinery hostage or otherwise sabotage the operation was so apparent.
The only reason modern strikes have any relevance is because of state interference. Coincidentally, most modern strikes are by public workers. One example is the recent strikes in the UK by train drivers - in line with what I wrote above, they are paid huge premiums (up to $90,000 not counting benefits) for a job that can be quickly and easily automated. Yet this did not come to pass. Thankfully, many other sectors of the economy full of privileged boomers with no real sense of their true worth are being swept away by the tide of progress as their complaints are drowned out.

THE HILL WE CLIMB, BY AMANDA GORMAN


When day comes, we ask ourselves, where can we find light in this never-ending shade?

The loss we carry. A sea we must wade.

We braved the belly of the beast.

We've learned that quiet isn't always peace, and the norms and notions of what "just" is isn't always justice.

And yet the dawn is ours before we knew it.

Somehow we do it.

Somehow we weathered and witnessed a nation that isn't broken, but simply unfinished.

We, the successors of a country and a time where a skinny Black girl descended from slaves and raised by a single mother can dream of becoming president, only to find herself reciting for one.

It goes on like this for ~70 more lines

what you idiots always fail to understand is that modern consoomers for the most part fund their consumption habits using debt
those that consoom using their own money are even worse, since anyone with half a brain would prefer to invest that money rather than spend it on trifles and baubles

of course, exceptions can be made for those with a huge income or high net worth, but let's be honest: when we talk of consoomers, we mean the type in op's image

AYO THIS SCHIZOANONS OC IS SHIT
