Labor creates all wealth.
Everything else is accounting.

I freelanced for @equaltimes for 10 years, writing 37 articles/features
They were an amazing team, interested in global #justice, #labor, & #humanrights. Most of the stories I wrote, I couldn't have published at any other outlet. So sad to see them go.

A lax regulatory environment has led to the widespread abuse of farmworkers — including threats of violence, stolen wages and forced labor.
Experts say the Fair Food Program's reforms could help.
But few farms have signed on.

The former CEO of Geisinger made 4.6 million dollars in 2020. (No figures are available for the current CEO.) Yet they are not offering many employees a living wage, and have cut their benefits to the bone. DOWN WITH CORPORATE GREED and UP WITH UNIONS! Support our local hospital employees. #union #unionstrong #labor #labormovement #strike
The government workers at least care about labor rights for the government workers...
The elephant in the room #CorporateGreedKills
@MJmusicinears True but I think we also need to be more explicit. It's not just corporate greet, it is #capitalism. It is a system that is waging #classwar and has been for 100+ years or #workingclass people.
Working class people need, including most of the "middle class" need to rebuild the #labor #union movement. We need to explicitly take an #anticapitalist stand and build real #democracy and #socialism.
We have to organize to take back what is ours. It'll be a long and dangerous fight.
@Vonskinnback @SylvieLorxu @nileane The only way we deal with unchecked power and wealth is that we finally organize to beat #capitalism.
Capitalism, like kings, is a temporary human creation. It may seem permanent or unbeatable, it is not. It will have an end because it cannot be sustained. The question is will we come together and fight it.
The vast majority, the working class, we are the ones that save us. #Organize #labor #unions and communities to build real #democracy and #socialism.
The richest 10% control 94% of total #capital ownership assets in the United States.
They determine how to use our #labor & #resources, what we produce & how our #surplus is deployed.
They determine the direction of our #civilization. It is the antithesis of #democracy.

«The global AI industry is fueled by hidden and precarized labor: workers who collect and annotate data, keep data centers running, and mine rare earth minerals—not to mention the artists, translators, writers, and actors whose work fuels so-called generative AI» 📢 This paper redirects attention to those workers.
