I drink your milkshake! a metaphor for capitalism

saw some insane statistics today on the news. 50% of canadians cant afford to fill their tank.

Nearly 7 in 10 drivers worry they can’t afford gas as prices soar, poll finds - National | Globalnews.ca

Surging gas prices have some 69 per cent of Canadians worried they won't be able to afford the cost of filling up, pushing some to drive less or consider a more efficient option.

70% cant afford gas LOL

note this is a fake news source but the story is likely true

said it once and ill say it again: capitalism centralizes power into a few hands and the ppl with the power make themself rich at everyone elses expense.

WHAT DO MCDONALDS WORKERS IN DENMARK EARN PER HOURRRR???

THEY EARN.....OVER $20/HR AND GET 6 WEEKS PAID VACATIONNNN

ive worked union hospital jobs, railway, fuel truck, car rentals, and ive never got 5 or 6 weeks vacation. in addition, the union car rentals was under $20 for first 2 or 3 years.

Do McDonald's Workers in Denmark Make $22 an Hour?

The fight over a minimum wage is often centered around McDonald's.

www.snopes.com

"We reached out to 3F, the union that represents fast food workers in Denmark, to get some more information about the wages at McDonald’s. The union representative told us that the pay scheme in Denmark isn’t as simple as saying that all employees make $22 per hour. The majority of McDonald’s workers in Denmark are part-time, and currently receive a base pay of about $20 an hour. Employees earn additional wages for working off-hour shifts (weekends or nights), overtime, and holidays. Employees over the age of 20 also receive a pension plan.

The agreement with McDonalds does not only include salary per. hour and 6 weeks holiday. There is extra charge for evening and night work. Payment for seniority, holiday payment (Easter and Christmas for example, (100%), on top of all payment there is an extra 6.85%, Pension plan for employees from the age of 20 (12%)."

Yah, and 500 million are still in poverty and don't kid yourself that the rest have it that great. Have you heard of China's 996 work week? Work from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. 6 days a week. Look at the "lying flat" revolt going on amongst their younger adults. They're sick of working like dogs for low pay. A lot of them are doing things like food delivery for a little money rather than working in factories. You've been convinced that the Chinese have it better than we do. You'd be wrong. By the way most of the world's 50 most polluted cities are in China.

Guess what kind of struggle The Matrix was about. Do we need to refer back to the Wachowski sisters again?

Doubt that's what Marx had in mind when he said that.

star wars lucas trilogy ended with victory and the struggle was over.

the matrix updated this myth and said the struggle never ends although the freedom fighters (who survived) were better off with the revolution
