The system is designed to bring labor down. The goal of management is to lower costs of production and increase profit. Labor, being a major cost of production, will always receive management's attention.

I believe that a time will come when labor costs have been reduced to the point that people are desperate just to feed their families. As I've said before, that time will see a single spark set fires around the world. As in the French revolution, the perceived persecutors will be turned on and disposed of en-mass.

This will bring on a dark time of lawlessness, until a movement arises to bring some control to the system.

We progressives should prepare for this time and be ready with a system that is fair to all.

I believe that the above musings are, at this point, inevitable.
