THIS IS VAIABID. A RARE SUPERNATURAL SUBSTANCE THAT KEEPS OUR REALITY TOGETHER. READ MORE @ bit.ly/VAIABID

She was always so woke & wise.

i might just be a lazy weak-willed bitch but honestly i think i’m not entirely wrong

even with the comparatively primitive factory tech of the time we were already creating a huge amount of excess production back then and companies were making massive amounts of profit. So it already stood to reason that companies should either let their employees work less and thus each employee could work a shorter shift without lowering the yearly compensation of each employee, or in cases where businesses provide an active service they would shorten the shift but hire more people to cover the necessary operating time. but of course that would mean less money for people at the top so companies fought back hard and we ended up with nixon’s bullshit and so on and now its considered the norm for us to spend the vast majority of our lives doing work that really just amounts to waste. 

The IWW realised this and were fighting for it all the way back in the 1930s. This is a take with a lot of historical and theoretical grounding, OP, so you’re standing in good stead.
