And the people in the comments are simply the most darling fountains of wisdom.
For all these morons screech about "you're paid what you're worth!", they would be in a nasty shock if all these "worthless cogs" were to suddenly disappear. Also, they seem to have absolutely no grasp on how job-searching in a shitty economy works.
I also hate how US history has apparently warped the image of slavery as being nonexistent as long as workers aren't physically held against their will and whipped in fields. It's hilarious how fucked up this country is when it comes to work. You're a worthless freeloader if you're not working. What? You are working? Well, you're worthless for not working a better job. Also, you may need to get a second job and work twice as much into an early grave so you can merely survive instead of actually live. Hard, honest work is great and noble, until workers feel they should be compensated more. Because we live in a false meritocracy where everything is earned in perfect proportion and is not subject to reality!
But remember, income + no whips = not slavery! (I guess it's only slavery if China does it. Because communism.)
