So I went to the 24 hour gas station near my house

The clerk was literally in tears when I got there. Why? Because her husband is going to prison on Monday.

Why was she at work? Because they don’t give her a key and if she leaves they will arrest her too for leaving all that money and goods unlocked and unattended.

So go ahead and tell me just because she gets paid a bull**** wage she isn’t a slave.

Tell me again why this system “works”

There is a reason they used to call this wage slavery. Past generations got it.

@MalteseFalconPunch And sadly some right wing idiots here think copying objectively failed American ideas is a good idea.

@MalteseFalconPunch In my home province where I grew up we have a clown known by many as "Canadian Trump" who is the brother of a literal coke head who got famous embarrassing Toronto on the international stage. Anyway this clown is working on privatizing the provincial healthcare system and they are already price gouging the provincial government. When asked about it his response was "I can't control what the private sector does." My reaction was as follows

He seems completely unaware that this statement completely invalidates his plan to privatize healthcare.

These are the same people who privatized the provincial power utility and are still hated for it. If your electric bill quadrupled you got lucky.
