Inequality Highest Since Great Depression

Working people being cheated is standard business practice. Otherwise the phrase "working poor" would not exist. Don't expect that to change anytime soon either.

But not on this scale. At least not since 1928. And look what happened.

Coincidentally, after that disaster all sorts of things were set up that... helped us have such a huge middle class.

So you wonder what the tipping point is going to be to get rid of the apathy. Sadly, I think another collapse and this time a depression.

I wonder if non-violent direct action would be more effective at the moment.

For instance, there are tons of low-paid, under-appreciated, unskilled workers in this world. What prevents them from sabotaging the operations of those who exploit them? It needn't even involve property destruction - simply taking twice as long to make a burger or twice as long to clean a building, on a large enough scale, would put tremendous pressure on the financial class to fix the issue of compensation.

We also need to start getting police unions back into the larger labour movement. We could definitely use their help, seeing as how they are the ones who are doing the dirty work for the upper class.
