I don't mind doing work, but I do mind not being compensated enough that even working 60+ hours a week won't afford me even the cheapest rat-hole to live in. The fuck is the point of spending my time slaving away for some rich fuck to get richer while I live in the street or a car if I am lucky?

The slavery is the point. The robber-barons of 100 years ago determined a tired, busy workforce doesn't have time to organize or protest.

(The idea wasn't precisely new - they didn't invent exploitation, but they shaped the industrial revolution and as such their impact can be felt across the modern world.)
