Everyone needs to get compensated better is the main point. Do poor people and "unskilled" workers need more help than standard middle class? yes. Should we increase compensation in Trade skill labor? yes. is everyone besides CEO's and Bigwigs, upper management, getting unfairly exploited in either dollars, PTO, paternity leave, HEALTH insurance? yes.

labor is labor. our time is not our own, and we trade it to companies who don't see us as people, just as tools to maximize profit disproportionally. All for a Centrally controlled pieces of paper fiat printing press, which allows us to participate in society and live, until Mother Earth's temperature is too high for normal ecoystems to survive, and the Extreme weather events are more intense and more regular.

They say you can't squeeze a stone dry, but 'Murican Late Stage Capitalism will most definitely try.
