There’s no “YOLO Economy” and people aren’t lazy.

You so thoroughly monopolized your markets, perfected exploitation, and cruelly oppressed people that they can’t afford life anymore and are forced to either give up or work 80 hours a week in the gig economy to avoid starvation.
Pretty soon people are going to re-learn the lesson that keeps getting taught every time hypercapitalization destroys the market.

Reckless pursuit of profits to the detriment of people only works so long before you destroy yourself.
These corporations cannot help themselves. They push and push and push until they self-destruct and take the entire world and everyone in it down with them.

Things are crumbling. Quickly. Learn the lesson or see what happens. There’s really no in between.
The problem isn’t people. It’s that for decades now the Right has redistributed wealth from the bottom up through war, deregulation, and anti-human propaganda. We’re living in the dystopian nightmare they created.
Dismantling labor unions, basing all politics around the growth of the market, and constructing this fixed world system of cruel stasis and relentless exploitation caused this.

Continuing to scapegoat people trying to live their lives with dignity is abhorrent.
