 And not to mention so many get shit on, paid much less than their work
is worth, and have
the ever present "if you don't like this job, there is a illegal
immigrant or a man in India
that would be happy to take your place" over their heads. As an added
bonus, if they
lose their job and become homeless, they get accused of being "lazy
bums" or "drug users". Isn't runaway capitalism wonderful?
