    How does this not ring bells in most people's ears and create righteous anger? i'm not saying that anyone who sees this will become a god of communism, but how does anyone without econ-:brainworms: see this and say "ah yes, more people having jobs is actually a bad thing"

    i was once called a conspiracy theorist for suggesting that there is a thing called the "reserve army of labor" and that neoliberal economists are opposed to full employment because it prevents scabbing and allows labor to more easily organize.

    Can't help but notice a lot of the initial wave of collapse is happening in the entirely overbloated marketing and tech-media centers, and I can't really feel bad about this.
