Nurses went on strike.
Then graduate students.
Then school teachers.
Now it’s hotel employees, writers, and actors.
UPS drivers and auto workers may be next.
Many strikes, similar story:
Workers are sick and tired of billionaires and corporations hoarding wealth and power.
Raising workers' wages is only half the answer.
This will sound mean and vindictive, but it's the truth.
Management and owners will just raise the price of goods, to maintain profits. The skimming done by the top salaries directly, and stock buybacks indirectly, will still increase the wealth of the top tier. The cake needs to be sliced differently, with the aid of legislation, taxation and social education.
Eat the rich.
Being a billionaire needs to be so bounded that any wealth beyond a limit gets plowed back directly into society. 100% taxation. If one thousand times one million dollars is not enough for one person, that person needs to find a different planet...lookin' at you, Elon!
