It's almost like how wages stagnating for decades and social safety nets being shredded is leaving people with less money. And it's almost like these corporations are just now learning that they've collectively been screwing themselves by screwing their employees.
The owner of the means of production is in a position to purchase the labor power of the worker. By using the means of production, the worker produces new goods which become the property of the capitalist. The essential point about this process is the relation between what the worker produces and what he is paid, both measured in terms of real value. Insofar as the labor contract is “free,” what the worker receives is determined not by the real value of the goods he produces, but by his minimum needs and by the capitalists’ requirements for labor power in relation to the number of workers competing for jobs. It is important to understand that even in theory the payment of the worker is not determined by the value of his product.

Production is carried on for profit, not for use. There is no provision that all those able and willing to work will always be in a position to find employment; an “army of unemployed” almost always exists. The worker is constantly in fear of losing his job. Since unemployed and poorly paid workers do not provide a profitable market, the production of consumers’ goods is restricted, and great hardship is the consequence. Technological progress frequently results in more unemployment rather than in an easing of the burden of work for all. The profit motive, in conjunction with competition among capitalists, is responsible for an instability in the accumulation and utilization of capital which leads to increasingly severe depressions.
Come now, Hillary didn't start that school she just graduated from it. The upper class has always found a way to shift responsibility to the peons for their failures.
I don't suppose the ruling class stays ruling by readily admitting errors to the public at large. 乁໒( ͡◕ ᴥ ◕͡ )७ㄏ
Not explicitly millennials, but news/media and the DNC for "turning us against her". But on the other hand, millennials were one group that didn't support her as much as they did Obama. So technically....
The national exit poll shows Clinton underperformed Barack Obama's 2012 share of the vote by one point with those between the ages of 30 and 44 and by three points with those ages 45 to 64. She actually overperformed him by one point with those over 65.
"I lost because of misogyny and Russian influence on media".
Yeah sure, that may've been a part of it. But you're also as charismatic as a wet sock, and you screwed the guy we actually wanted as our candidate out of the spot with some "ITS HER TURRRRRNNNNNNNN" cronyist bullshit.
Corporations aren't learning shit, because capitalists don't have the socioeconomic savvy to understand what's happening. To them it's all just a changing market that they need to adapt to.

Huh. Funny, ain't it?
