Or looking for another job that paid more. This is a big problem with unions. They have had their place, but they have driven companies into the ground as well.

Unions, not a fan and not at all to what I am referring. I would never trust an organization that required money from me in order to protect my interests.

No, I am for a complete eradication of the monetary system. No bartering either. I believe people will work at helping a community survive when all are equally on the same level and all equally are treated the same and all are equally receiving the same minimal comforts for happiness and survival. It is the greed to have something someone else doesn't that separates us and makes people lazy to the point where they realize not working for a corrupt system is better than supporting it for a lifetime of grief and no proper recompense.

Well it seems that these conversations always seem to go to the 1%. It seems more about greed and wanting something that someone else has. It’s more about what other people have. You could also vote with your wallet. Support business that pay better. If you don’t want to risk your money, and put in the effort yourself to give it away.
