My company just listed on LinkedIn a job
posting for what I'm currently doing (so
we're hiring another UX writer) and now
thanks to salary transparency laws, I see
that they intend to pay this person $32k-
$90k more than they currently pay me, so I
applied.

I posted this five years ago in 2020.

Political cartoon from 2020:
"The Rising Economic Tide..."
[Corporate Executive standing on the shoulders of Wage Earners with water up to their eye-balls]
Corporate Executives, "Profits are up! My compensation has DOUBLED! Look at me! I'm Walking on water!"
Wage Earners, "WAGED ARE FLAT... MY BUYING POWER IS SHRINKING... I'M NOT EVEN TREADING WATER!"

The goal for capitalists is to live off
the labor of others. In other words,
while we work our lives away, the
fruits of our labor are funneled to their
bank accounts. While they sit idle.
They preach "work ethic" to us so we
take pride in our exploitation. While
they sit idle.

MAKING BILLIONS IN PROFITS WHILE YOUR WORKERS CANT AFFORD HOUSING OR GROCERIES IS NOT CALLED SUCCESS, IT'S CALLED EXPLOITATION

pyomorphic

if you ask a right winger why a job like, say,
sanitation worker has such an abysmal wage
even though their job is necessary they'll tell
you that it is an unskilled occupation. we could
contest that but for the sake of argument let's
concede.

by this logic, value is derived by how much
labor is required to accomplish something, in
this case the labor of learning the skill in
addition to the labor of completing the task at
hand. a doctor would earn a much higher wage
because of the labor required to earn the
necessary degrees to practice. okay.

but then if you ask a right winger why the price
of a pair of glasses, a mattress, or even a bottle
of water is so expensive, despite these things
being cheap and easy to make, they'll tell you
that value is not determined by the labor that
goes into it, but by need and demand.

this inconsistency reveals how neoliberal
economics functions: the value of something
means whatever is most convenient to the
ruling class.

Hi kids, today we're going to learn about WAGE THEFT. Record-breaking profits without any increase in worker wages is called: WAGE THEFT.

HOMELESSNESS SETS THE FLOOR FOR EVERYONE'S WAGES

FEAR OF HOMELESSNESS KEEPS POORER WORKERS IN LINE

MIDDLE CLASS GETS TOLD POOR WORKERS ARE "UNSKILLED" AND SO THEY DON'T DESERVE TO HAVE LIVABLE WAGES

WHILE THE RICH KEEP PROFIT CREATED BY BOTH OF THEM

Brave New Films & @bravenewfilms When your boss's income has risen 940% since 1978 and yours has only increased by 12%, it's time to stop blaming minorities for your problems.

There is no conspiracy
No cosmic mystery
No "Both Sides"

Every problem on earth makes sense if you remember these 3 facts:

1. We built a society where everything is run by money
2. Those with the most money can never have enough money
3. They are totally fine with anything and everything bad that might occur as a result of pursuing more money, up to and including mass death.

That's it. That's the secret.

Single panel cartoon with a rich guy in a wagon with a huge bag of money holding a carrot on a stick for a horse that is emaciated and dead, labeled "Workers". Rich guy says, "I don't understand! This worked for years!"
