Went through the weekend feeling ok, #WokeUpMonday with this #WokeMindVirus. Must be the diverse creatives making all the art

Does #Capitalism require unemployment?

Think about all the unionizing and strikes. The addition of LLMs. Child labor, undocumented labor. How a healthy pool of unemployed people without basic necessities are used as leverage

#FuckJobs

@BigAngBlack It works ok if you have a proper social security system and public health.

Unfortunately the unemployed are treated like criminals now even though they are a necessary part of the system. #australia #robodebt

@notzed
I think it says a lot that people are counted as a metric of employment for the "economy" and we arent measuring quality of life
@BigAngBlack It doesn't have to be like this. If firms were always structured as worker coops, the workers would be in a position to cooperate to share the burden of a recession and reduce wages instead of reducing employment to maintain the wages of others
@jlou
That's almost socialism-speak. How dare you, good sir
@BigAngBlack Shhhhh 🤫 it's economic democracy not socialism
