$644/$7.25 (minimum wage) is 88.8 hours. That’s two weeks of gross income. A giant chunk of us cannot afford that. Your snarky comment is stupid and you should feel embarrassed.
Not in a union yet? Not a problem. Become a Wobbly and join the only anticapitalist union out there.

Not at all.
Hip-hop artists also rap about it pretty frequently.
It’s kind of a cycle with capitalism. There’s no real way to control it other than to get rid of capitalism altogether.
They’re a fucking wizard that one.
Line must go up!
Because capitalists have had an effective propaganda campaign to make them think “made in the USA” is good. It don’t mean shit. We need the union label back.
This would be a great skit.
I don’t know everything we need to do, and/or by what means. I would like to think it can be all done peacefully but we have seen how oil executives will fight tooth and nail to keep their quarterly profit report line going up; so that may not be a viable way. We could all practice consuming less and reevaluating our lifestyles. Putting more thought into whether we really need to consume as much as we do is a good example.
I think it would require some extreme changes to the oil, industry amongst other things. We’d also have to be vigilant that those changes don’t disproportionately affect the global south.
You should’ve chosen a better birthday.
I don’t mean to be a doomer but we can’t. We’re passed the point of no return. The best we can do is organize so that we can reduce the amount of death from here on out.
I knew that .ml stand for “Marxist-Lenninist” and now that I realize the other lem thought .ml meant it’s being hosted in Malaysia I’m cracking up. That’s a fun mishap.
That’s a pretty valid reason, I’ll have to look into it more as I already created an account on .ml. While I do call myself an anarchist/communist, I don’t zealously jump at the defense of a government without nuancing the situation.
Can I ask what worries you about it being hosted on Malaysia?
I swear every problem in the modern world is like two degrees separated from capitalism.
Its purposeful. It’s done this way so that there are legal ways of justifying the death of millions per year as they are deemed unprofitable.
