while a property-owning upper class essentially has life-and-death power over them
the state keeps the workers from rising up
life-death power?
what?
how about
getting another job

okay first of all, there are laws about income
yes, of course
second of all, there's competition in labor force and wages
labor force decide where to look for jobs
they'll want the best offers
especially the specialized
capitalism always has a certain amount of unemployment
to threaten workers with instant replacement
well unemployment is a record low in the US rn
4.4 percent
one of the lowest rates
yep
in the world
but it has to be there
we are about to obliterate unemployment
even milton friedman believed that
poverty and unemployment is going downhill hard
they may in the short term
but the market goes up and down and up and down
short term?
i'm talking about
30 years of progress
in unemployment and poverty
troughout the entire US history
both of these elements have been peaking down
and yet enough people are disillusioned and unemployed to vote for trump
the rust belt's namesake

we're not gonna lie
it's funny because
at least 1.5 million private jobs
