The capitalists have analyzed these graphs, and wouldn't you know it, the result is that we need more exploitation

Crazy how that works. Money goes down, work CLEARLY needs to go up to compensate

reminder that inflation is just capitalists opportunistically raising prices in an environment where they can get away with it.

Just work harder to make me more money and maybe I'll pay you more!

And then you do work harder and the boss makes more money so they lay everyone off to reorg so they can invest that money elsewhere

No no no. You need to work harder, but make the same amount. Otherwise, inflation!

And then you do work harder and the boss makes more money so they lay everyone off

Except they can't lay anyone off, because then you'd have more bargaining power.

I mean, this is actually true, just not in the way he thinks. The amerikkkan ruling class (always maximizing profits) has offshored almost all of this country’s productive forces since Carter began the neoliberal counter-revolution, which means that it is harder (but more profitable) to buy and sell things in the USA. Various monopolies also mean that the capitalists can charge almost whatever they want for increasingly shitty commodities and services. The USA can actually produce everything it needs very cheaply, but this first requires us to drive the capitalists and their running dogs into the sea so we workers can do our fucking jobs.

Less meetings, less emails and HFM for intellectual work (less interruptions).

Hand foot mouth disease? What’s that stand for?

What we need to do is work so damn hard for the owner-class, be so productive for them that they make so much profit that they just don’t want any more profit.

If we are really really good workers then the owners won’t have to raise prices since they’ll have enough money and won’t want any more.
