Yeah that’s exactly what’s happening. There are lot of very smart, well paid people whose job is to balance the degree of economic precarity the working class is in to keep the workers from gaining any power they could use for leverage. That’s what’s happening right now the rail strike being crushed, the massive tech layoffs, and the fed just fully mask-off saying it’s going to fuck with the interest rates to raise unemployment.
They all read Marx. They know how labor power works.
Sometimes I feel like the machine doesn’t even want you to have the semblance of financial stability. Like as if there’s an incentive to keep people stressed and depressed knowing they’re barely making it each month.
That’s exactly right. It’s called precarity and is a feature of the system. Can’t mount an effective defense of your rights if you’re not sure where your next meal will come from.
I’m pretty sure whatever they pay to the donor is included in “costs 150 to obtain”. In my experience they typically pay $50 to $100.
smash mouth was right the world really is a vampire
lmao I just read it as smashing pumpkins and didn’t even catch that
Lol I felt very HOW DARE YOU but almost let it go because I figured it’s likely a joke, but then I realized that if they did it on purpose, they at least deserve the satisfaction of knowing they succeeded in triggering one (1) millennial. How dare they slander the music of my youth?
Okay but guys, what if we democratically managed the blood sucking clinics?
