    Federal minimum wage was to keep a family of four out of poverty, this is a 1938 labor law; this law was in effect during our ‘golden years’ 1940s, 50s, 60s, 70s.

    Today? They just ignore it as we have since the 80s; these are the results of steadily declining wages for 50 years.

    They don’t want babies. They want robots.

    Since corporations are people, logic dictates that robots are also people. Robots are a construct run by humans, just like companies.

      The fortunes of a few matter more than the lives of rest of us, and we’ll just watch from the sidelines I guess whilst dying of starvation… They say social cohesion starts to fall apart when people can’t feed their kids, but if they have no kids to feed, I guess it’s a win win for the ultra wealthy. They get planet earth to themselves, whilst the rest of us just wither away and die, no societal uprising, no revolution, just distractions, everywhere, all by design, it’s kinda genius to be fair.

      Well, they want slaves. And they’re still figuring out which direction to go
