At what point will workers who feel left behind begin to understand the problem IS greed? With mega billionaires controlling social media, and social media providing most of the "news" today, everything else is blamed for the plight of the working person - but mostly culture wars and xenophobia are leveraged. We are truly living in The Hunger Games.
Brilliant analysis on how corporate consolidation didnt just kill local jobs but destroyed civic identity itself. The Dayton example really captures something - when Huffy Bicycle was absorbed into the Borg, workers lost the shared economic reality that made them part of hte same ecosystem as management. Grew up seeing this in my hometown and tbh the atomization was as damaging as the wage losses.

You're absolutely right about this. But i can't cover everythingeach issue!!! 😁
It's a question not a comment. I do think at some point people will see it. But how? Looking forward to your future letter about this.
Meanwhile, Gil Scott-Heron was absolutely right, "The Revolution will not be televised," or social mediaized...or commercialized... or monetized.
But we are discussing this on social media. So I don't know. Back to the vegetable garden.
