236) Day 4 -- Reason #4 to revolt against Predatory Capitalism

Have your wages increased by 144% in the past 5 years? Or do you make "just a little bit more" than you did 5 years ago?

If you eat at McDonald's, hopefully your wages have MORE than doubled! Or...you're getting poorer. Hmmm....I wonder if this also affects rent, housing, gas....?

We are told "this is inflation". It's not. It's corporate greed. Turns out that disasters, like COVID, are great smokescreens for gouging the public and getting away with it.

In other words, our corporate masters wait until we face deep challenges in society, and then ....they help us. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Just kidding. No, while we are collectively vulnerable, they use that opportunity to fuck us over, and get away with it.

The more crises, the more fucked over we get.

And wait until we talk about how GOVERNMENTS do it even worse, using crises, like 9/11, wars, pandemics, stock market collapses, natural disasters, to pass laws that reduce public safety, reduce corporate accountability, reduce civil society's FREEDOMS, and on and on.

And what happens in the meantime? The VERY RICHEST people in society, pocket billion$ and billion$ and billion$ of your money. And gain even more control over the political system.

So that they can...yep, you've got it --- fuck us over even more.

If you're interested in this, read "The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism" by Naomi Klein. You will never see the world the same again.
