New Business Model - Do More With Less/Produce More/Make Less Mone Have No Job Security.

The business model since Reagan has shifted to "Do more with less". And that meme has resulted in a business philosophy of "w
Work more and produce more and make less money and have less security and benefits." It's a new slavery that says, "You you are lucky to have THIS job." So shut up and get to work.

And workers are royally pissed off. Yet they voted for politicians in the GOP that brought them this reality. Now many support Trump and other GOP candidates who in reality will make matters even worse if they get power. You have to be demented to believe the GOP will help you as a worker if you look at all their economic policies.

Are they pissed off enough to take a stand if they aren't listened to this time? Are they pissed off enough to say no, I will not vote for somebody who won't help me, and damn the consequences? Because that's what it is going to take.

it appears it's happening again this year on both sides. What will it take to get the voting public out of this drunken stupor or trance, or sleep walk through life they appear to be experiencing. They continue to vote against their best interest and then get angry as if they had nothing to do with it.

Looking at history it pretty much has to get to that point before people fight back.

Why would your paycheck be the one aspect of society that would go against that? There are more people today, and on top of that, or underneath it, there is a complex of technology that is an end in and of itself. Any given individual isn't as needed anymore.
