Wait, what? That's not wage theft at all. It's fucked up and something we need to fix, but wage theft is a different thing entirely
you're thinking of the legal definition of wage theft. This meme is about how all profit is made by stealing the surplus value of workers.
I like the idea behind the comic, but I had the same initial thought as the previous commenter. I think maybe the comic shouldn't have used a very well known phrase that has a different legal definition.
It's about Marxism, but yeah.
I can understand that, though I feel like that's part of what makes it funny, subverting expectations.
Subverting the fact that Sesame Street teaches accurate things?
