American ruling class can't tuck its ego long enough to make a single fucking car & then wondered how Japan ate us alive
Bonus points: @CC_Rosenthal's Accounting For Slavery traces this egomaniac streak in our business culture right back to slavery 
Like it or not, our national culture around "how to run a shop" came straight off the slave camp.

This is why I say "the workplace safety community is the biggest, fattest anticolonial force that nobody's talking about."
It's all about NOT treating staff like they're disposable, listening to their input, stop punishing ppl for bringing up problems, & mgmt tucking their egos.

like yep we have a lot of work to do in decolonizing everything- gov't, education, healthcare, etc.
And the way we run the nitty-gritty in-person parts of our economy is a HUGE area that needs it too.

BTW here's a shout-out to Melissa @shappy & John Nightingale's @johnath v accessible training on how to be a capable mgr who's not getting dragged around by their own pride through @rawsignalgroup

The massive irony is once you switch to an egalitarian workplace, profits go UP because the whole shop works better. Less waste, fewer foulups, stuff gets done faster, etc.
It's literally why Toyota makes good AND cheap cars. They treat mgmt ego as a problem to be eliminated.

The notion that humane workplaces make things cost more
ain't true
it's just an ass-cover
and we really, really need to stop taking it at face value.

Anyway to bring this back to food, this is why I'm sick & tired of the "sustainable" food community repeating this "well people just have to pay more for good food! 
" talking point.
"Basic humanity costs more" is literally propaganda that exists to justify abuse.

It also betrays that ... they have no idea what they're talking about. Have never engaged seriously with workers' issues or the nuts & bolts of actually running any kind of real life operation.
We deserve a conversation that's led by folks who, like, actually know what they're talking about. Here's to a food movement centered on workers & getting shit done, not cutesy branding & nostalgia.
