(10,622 posts)I really do support unions and want union jobs available to us, but the powers that be are too powerful for us to simply be able to work an honest days labor and be able to survive and it is only getting worse.
I am getting old, but I am very concerned for all the young people that are destined to live in poverty simply because no matter how hard they work, wages will keep dropping and survival will continue to become harder to achieve. I see a great deal of starving homeless people in the future (there are already an exponentially increasing number of both.)
It is like human beings no longer matter unless born rich, and those that are rich have apparently had all empathy and sense of community bred out of them long ago.
I guess the only thing left is a race between environmental death to us all sooner rather than later, or mass starvations of most of us leaving only the wealthy to linger a while longer until the lack of a survivable environment takes them as well.
Perhaps several million years of evolution will produce a better intelligent species, one that is not hell bent on self destruction and selfishness towards others.
