  1. Honestly, what good is Free Market Capitalism at this point? It has made half of us into minimum wage earners. It has decentralized and offshored our manufacturing capacity. It has been slowly wittling away at the middle class for the last 30 years. It blew up the global financial system in 2008 and cost normal folks 5+ years in lost earning potential. One single company built and then destroyed the city of Flint, and three companies did it to Detroit. Wealth inequality is worse than it was 100 years ago. Good higher education is literally unattainable for the majority. Now we have this virus and tens of millions have lost their jobs and health insurance.

    Oh but we all have shiny phones and Netflix so it’s all good who cares

  2. This is all just so fucked. I’ve been delivering pizza for my brother’s store which is usually good money but I’ve been getting about half of what I’d normally make in tips. Then to top it off, the owner of the franchise called an ‘emergency managers meeting’ in Oakland county (ground zero for the outbreak in Michigan). Said something to the effect of, “it’s all an overblown political/media sensation.” A few hours later, my brother’s girlfriend isn’t feeling well and having panic attacks, and he decides to quit on the spot pretty much, after 4 years. One manager is out sick with a fever, another just put in his two-week notice. Now I’m wondering if the store will even be open next week.
