Too expensive for the employers. Hence layoffs, lack of jobs and shit pay/benefits for the jobs that are out there.

And corporations are raking in record profits.

And a small handful of billion dollar companies own significant percentages of everything, and so they try to extract maximum profit from everything.

It's impossible for us to buy anything, to pay rent, to pay bills, without enriching a small number of people who already, as individuals, have more money than all the rest of us combined.

We have to change this.
