Greetings good citizen, for all of the 'happy talk' about the booming economy (A trillion dollars in tax cuts, principally to the corporate tax rate, companies must be rolling in it, right?
Um, why aren't the companies 'sharing' this, er, 'windfall' with the people who actually make the profits.
Since 1980 workers have been told they are lucky they have jobs [so competitive was the global marketplace] so just lay off the raises huh? And while companies were racking up record quarter after record quarter, come raise time the workers were being told there wasn't room in the budget for raises or if they did hand them out there were 'give backs' involved like paying a higher percentage of your healthcare or losing the company matching on your 401k.
Business '202' was doing great but the workers were getting raises that didn't keep pace with inflation and a whole new class was born, the working poor.
The other half of that reality was the newly created 'not in the workforce designation exploded to fifty percent of working aged population, keeping the 'competition' for replacement workers at rock bottom.
Can't live on what the job pays? Tough, there are 2 guys wishing they had your job, which one do you want me to offer it to?
Commerce [read shareowners] have zero shame. If you can't live on what you're being paid it's not their problem, it's YOURS!
You spent how much on your degree? [Don't tell me your troubles, there were three just like you asking if we were hiring so far today!]
This is what 'supply side economics' [the owners are kings] has resulted in. The employer/employee relation has gone from symbiotic to predatory.
AND THERE AIN'T A F'N THING YOU CAN [LEGALLY] DO ABOUT IT!
There is nothing stopping you from walking off the job [except the extreme unlikelihood that anybody would hire you with that kind of a black mark on your resume.] The Artificially Low unemployment rate is fake and we all know it. There is too much 'surplus labor' to give you enough leverage to command a wage you can live on.
Still voting for Team Trump and 'the heirs of supply side' this coming November?
You might get a small increase but we all know that would be the 'chump correction'. New hires get more than older workers because employers recognize life is expensive and often marvel to themselves how the people that have worked there for years get by on so little money...
The ONLY thing that keeps your wages rising is WELFARE and some employers have stopped paying attention to that benchmark too with many of their workers qualifying for both!
Now that's 'corporate welfare' when the job pays so poorly that the worker qualifies for public assistance.
Remember what I told you yesterday? [I'm gonna keep on insulting you until you either stop reading or get off your dead ass and DO SOMETHING!]
Well, HOW STUPID ARE YOU? [Yeah, I know which is likely to come first but hey, I'm already close enough to the dirt nap for it not to make a difference to me.]
The politicians are in the 'owners' pockets so they won't help you (you might get the posers to pretend they care but they will just turn your plight into an excuse to raise funds for the next election!) Jobs, such as they are, no longer provide economic security.
So WTF are you doing? Let me ask again, HOW STUPID ARE YOU? [Unfair, I know, it's the only game in town and if you're gonna play you gotta play by the rules until something else comes along!
Only the 'owners' enjoy anything resembling economic security and they have to toe the line or the big guns [the fake bankers] will scuttle them!
[for the feeble minded there is no such thing outside the legal construct as 'real bankers'. LIKE BITCOINS, it's all PHONY!]
Yet you stubbornly refuse to be honest with yourself, hoping against hope that you will get along if you just continue to go along [despite it being obvious that you are being cheated out of what they 'promised' you.]
Even you should be old enough to know there is nothing more fleeting than a 'promise' that hasn't been recorded.
Implied or not, some promises were never meant to be kept.
Which leaves you where?
I'll be right here when you decide it's 'payback time'. [There ain't no 'God' to do it for you on either side of the this existence.]
See what happens when you fall for their lies?
It's whisper time, time to find out who is on your side and to make plans to take back what has been stolen from you.
Thanks for stopping by and opening your mind, [your single most important possession!]

Perhaps today's post will educate some of you as to WHAT (precisely) has been stolen from you!
