We allowed corporations to acquire too much power in the name of capitalism. They've done nothing but throw their workers into the grinder. And we're supposed to be shocked that employees don't prioritize their work above the rest of their shitty life?

Disappearing pension opportunities started long ago.....too many people see this as a recent trend but it isn't.
Employers see health insurance costs skyrocket and some of that is due to fraudulent claims, but the real reason is the greed of the insurance companies.
Funny how people forget the days of when the local mills/companies pretty much owned the towns they were located in. They had the mill houses for rent and the company store where you went to buy all your goods. Right now we are just reliving this era's version of that.
