    But companies will have to lay off workers! Oh wait, they’re already doing that despite record profits.

    Companies will stop giving raises! Oh wait, they’ve been doing that for decades.

    The economy stopped working for the average person. It’s been going on so long now that it’s normalized. People are afraid. We need to wake up to our exploitation.

    And I say this as a person who is well paid, at a company that treats its people well. I’ve worked enough other jobs to know how abnormal my situation is and will gladly fight alongside those who aren’t as lucky as me because I refuse to accept the “fuck you, I’ve got mine” mantra.
