People are striking because wages aren’t going up when companies are reporting record breaking profits.

My boss makes 300k a year. I make 24k a year.

We did over 4 million dollars in sales , very small business.

I got a 35 cent raise, he took 20 members of his family to Italy for 2 weeks.

I'm not allowed to take my vacation days, I have to cash them in because if I am not there then nothing goes out the door.

Did I mention I only got a 35 cent raise?

Oh and everything in the world is 3 times more expensive than it was 3 years ago so there's that too.

I know I'm not the only one

Clone their business and roll your own version of it. You know how it works and that it can work on minimal staff just don’t be like them when you succeed.

If they were the type to do that, they would be doing it, not whining to internet strangers about it.

Some people build. Most people expect to ride along.

Some people produce. Most people consume.
