Millions of us, everyday of every hour, are working a multitude of hours at different periods in the day. All so that we, can prop and propel the few lives that are on top. The few who’s lives we’re both knowingly and unknowingly sustaining. Who’s lives that have children that we’re indirectly supporting through our labor. Who’s dreams get to be realized because of our time spent doing these kinds of jobs.
What we’re left with, is that we’re left to having to set aside our dreams or let them die off. We have to tell our children “sorry, honey, but I can’t help you get to your prom.” or “I can’t afford to buy your supplies” or “I can’t make it for your game”. All at the expense of slaving away for extra hours on top of the scheduled hours to work.
This kind of ecosystem is unbearably uncomfortable to realize and practice against our wills.
That’s what I’d like to see reformed.
Yes, it is a system of slavery with wages. I refuse to work to make the rich even richer still, which eliminates most job prospects. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wage_slavery
It can be remedied by introducing democracy and profit-sharing in the workplace in the form of employee ownership. A well-known business of this form is Bob’s Red Mill. https://www.bobsredmill.com/employee-owned
