More Worker Opression coming soon. Project 2025

Found this article and decided to put it here in this thread.

Yeah...we should definitely work more.

...

Not necessarily "work more", but we should be willing to put an effort into life commensurate with what we want to get OUT of life. Some people want more than others, so they should be willing to put more effort into getting it rather than simply expecting someone to just hand it to them for nothing. What I'm seeing is folks expecting to get something for nothing, and tending towards running in gangs to try to make that happen rather than putting an honest effort into it themselves.

In a late-stage capitalist tragedy, ...

I'm seeing that particular phrase - "late-stage capitalism" - more and more, and it bothers me that the MSM is trying to normalize the notion by using it. It's as if they are trying to get us all to assume that socialistic slavery is a foregone conclusion and so we all just need to "get with their program".

What happened to that woman was indeed a tragedy, but it had nothing to do with either capitalism or socialism - what it had to do with was slack-assed "workers". I can say that with confidence because I have worked in security, supervised security workers, and managed in non-security environments as well.

Specifically, since this was a Wells-Fargo office, I have provided security in that sort of environment - securing Bank of America banking centers, a Bank of America corporate facility, and done body guard work for Bank of America executives. I also supervised security at a Citicard corporate facility. So I'm not a stranger to the concept, and cannot fathom how this happened without discovery.

If any of my people had allowed a dead body to just sit there for FOUR DAYS at any of those places,I'd have taken them to the woodshed before firing them and putting the word out that they were entirely unreliable security personnel. All of my facilities were patrolled multiple times on EVERY shift, Every floor, every cubicle was checked. Multiple times. on EVERY shift. How can you call it "security" without bothering to secure the space? In securing the space, something as large as a body would definitely have been found.

on the very first shift.

She might still be alive if their security personnel weren't so slack. Had they found her ont he first shift after she collapsed, there might have still been enough life there to revive her. maybe not, maybe so, but the possibility should haunt those security folks for the rest of their days.

When I was manager at a call center, I generally closed the facility at night. Not as a security guard, but as a responsible manager. Before I left, I walked every floor, checked every cubicle, PERSONALLY before I set the alarms and exited the facility for the night. I checked hte bathrooms for stragglers, as well as the storage spaces and whatnot. I examined the entire place before I'd put my stamp of approval on it being "empty" when I left. We did have security there as well for a while, but still I made sure that the place was empty myself before I left them to it.

So, in my opinion, this situation didn't have anything to do with "capitalism" or "overworked employees", it had everything to do with slack and irresponsible security and management of the facility.

The whole damned bunch of them ought to, by rights, be fired.

For a few years, I ran security at a facility where every single employee had to iris-scan to even get in to the place, and then on top of that, had to scan a key card to open any other doors inside the facility. Security always knew who was inside,and where they were in particular inside that building. With all of that, plus multiple patrols per shift, how in the hell could this have possibly happened unless multiple people were slacking on their responsibilities?

I put that slackness down to people who are expecting something for nothing out of life. There are way too many of them. It's ok if they don't want to work. That's fine by me. To each his own. My gripe is with the people who DON'T want to work, but DO expect to get something out of life without working for it.

If they don't want to do their jobs, then fine. Get the hell out of the way and let someone work it who DOES want to do it. If they had done that, there is the possibility that this woman might still be alive today.

Sure, yeah, death is just death. Even if I die because of my job (an accident or something) it has nothing to do with capitalism. 

I found that wording odd, too.


My experience is, I've worked my ass off, and am still poor. Poor people work very very hard. Most people are meant for labor positions. Same as most people are infantry in the military. It's the same concept------disposable people. 

They get paid shit, for the hardest labor under the sun.


It's not right. It's not fair. It needs to stop. 

People need to be able to earn a decent living.

I have no problem with hard work.


I have a problem with all these people, including myself, being taken full advantage of.

My issue with capitalism is simply this.
Hypothetical numbers, but say the average Amazon employee made 100,000 a year, while the CEO pulled in 1 billion.

This needs to stop. And stop....it will. This will not go on forever. Nor should it.

This is America. We shouldn't be struggling like this when there's all that money. Its the 1% who actually profit. It's not fair and it should stop, and all that profit spread more evenly.

Now....yes, they are pushing for us to "minimize" so that they can have even more profit. That's why everything is being priced out. Soon they'll own it all.

And we marched our asses right into it---generation by generation.

My real beef is, I believe we are the prostitute on the beast mentioned in Revelation. But, that's another thread. If this is True, then yeah, it needs to stop so bad that it brings on the Antichrist and Armageddon.

That's my true beef here.
