    It's human rights abuse when the Middle Class™ works at factories instead of unpaid immigrants under the threat of their visa being taken away

    It doesn't have to. I have worked in a small factory that had a strong Union it was fine, no less suck than my desk job. At least in the factory you could change jobs every few weeks and it would be way better if it were worker owned.

    also did you know that everyone is realizing that capitalism is completely broken and doesn't work?

    issues like housing costs, insurance increases, wealth concentration, oligarchic media ownership, the outright buying of politicians, inflation, healthcare costs, etc etc are making large numbers of people think capitalism is the fucking problem.

      only good thing is that the words socialism and communism have been propagandized into oblivion to mostly just refer to imaginary levels of government control and/or culture war that you can say "worker ownership can fix this" and get universal agreement from co-workers

    I worked at a target distribution center for one shift, which was basically just orientation and being shown around the giant warehouse. Only allowed a 30min lunchbreak during a 12hr shift and it would take at least 5-10mins to walk from your area to the break room and you'd be penalized for leaving your area to use the bathroom.

    After orientation, they told us all to get to work and I excused myself and got in my car and drove home. The promise of $17hr back in '09 was a dream, but I went back to my shitty pizza job that paid $8hr because at least i could steal food and hide in the walk in.

    But yeah, factory work sucks and I salute anybody that does it.
