Jon Stewart once told Jeff Bezos at a dinner with the Obamas that workers wanted fulfillment, not jobs running errands for rich people: 'That's a recipe for revolution'

Workers want to feel like they're not just "running errands for people that have more than you," Stewart said on "The Problem With Jon Stewart."

I don't remember this being posted here and I just heard about it today, so it's news to me.

    I disagree that the owners of media conglomerates, politicians and right-wing think tanks are not at the wheel

    Their decision making is still constrained by the meta-game of capital. Conservatives may be "at the wheel", but they can no more make a decision that breaks from the profit lust than their liberal counterparts could. Even if would save their own hold on power, even to keep their own grandchildren from starving in the next Dustbowl.

    It's why they're so darn furious. They've gotten everything they purport to want and the results, well, it's proof negative of everything they believe.
