Sounds like the GOP

The Irish call it simply: those English Bastards

You don't seem lucky

We now just call it the 'GOP Platform'...

This caused by these companies not having a good business plan for their workers and just letting things go. This why we need unions!

Slavery never went away. It just got better PR.

Wage theft is the #1 type of theft in volume in the US by the way : https://i.redd.it/yjvfdtzh16b11.jpg Without mentioning surplus value :

Sounds about right for current corporate and political entities

the most important thing i learned from reading Marx and Engels - they were incredibly accurate in predictions of the future, because 1/2

they knew to follow the money, and materially analyze the conditions. 2/2

So pretty much any republican social policy in the last 30 years.....
Hereagain
Don't forget how much Clinton gutted the welfare system. Republicans are absolutely worse, but the real enemy is unchecked capitalism.
Allthegoodnamesweretakenbeckygod
This is ?
havacat
Lol. Who TF is down voting that. Lol. It's accurate.

Or as we used to call it back in Chicago: The South Side.
railgap
Here we are now going to the south side
I pick up my friends and we hope we won't die
PrfctDrk
Southeast Portland Oregon
CosplayComet
Never been there... but now I know what area to avoid :D
thedarkcanuck
Which is functioning exactly as designed

I'm from the south side of Chicago here on vacation.
IrrelativeTheory
As a former south sider. Big Oof
CosplayComet
I was west side.... which, when I was leaving, was quickly becoming the new south side.
TowerJunkie
Same. I was lucky to get out.

If anyone thinks it's just a quirk of geography and not about race, just look at how Hyde Park compares to adjacent neighborhoods.
IrrelativeTheory
I went to Uchicago and that's a big yep from me dude.
venomlash
Condolences, fellow Maroon. U of C has done some to be a better neighbor to local communities (good jobs, public works) but should do more.
IrrelativeTheory
Maroons unite to be weird! (It was weird being a Chicago native and Maroon. I also disliked the quirky subculture of the school).
venomlash
Every time: "I'm from Evanston." "Why didn't you go to Northwestern then?"
MarkSoupial
The problem is that those people in power genuinely believe the people dying not only deserve it, but often that it is divinely destined.
Miller16of16
Its usually associated with strict adherence to "free market principles" a la potato famine and every famine in India under British rule.
FroZoids
1845 - start of the Irish Great Famine; Trevelyan (Brit in charge of ‘relief’) called it ‘a judgement from God’, fucking exported food...
WhatzitTooya
People in power? Half the voting population of the US seems to think like that, even if they ARE poor but somehow ignore that.
AnotherFailedAttemptAtHumor
Implying their tongue in cheek pseudo-ironic god complexes. Billionaires see themselves as masters of the world.
Zedaroca
The even worst problem is the amount of people that are not in power but also believe that.
SugarSmack
They reframe their self -gifted, generational entitlement as superior genetics. They don't see others as equal on any scale.
IShouldProbablyReadMore
The problem is the rest of us not holding those in power accountable.
DanFendi
I assure you, they don't. That's the story they tell half of the poor people to convince them to pull the other half down into the bucket.
useless3y3s
Or that it's due to their moral failing.
Ocek
You don't have to go into destiny. They simply need believe their death is an acceptable, or necessary, loss in the aggregate of profits.
wartoaster
That's still a form of destiny. They just worship profits instead of prophets.
BorkBork7
I'm totally stealing this. It's brilliant in its brevity.
Ocek
This is compounded by the idea that profits are what maximizes "good" in the world, which is demonstrably false.
QT3pt141592653
When success is measured by wealth alone, the poor become vilified.
Piroen
Especially when the facade of meritocracy is perpetuated
