Those profits are not for the workers

    More people need to hear this.

    Workers build stuff, and then the "owners" get to keep the profits.

    Saw someone post this old comic the other day: https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Fred-Wright-cartoon-So-Long-Partner-Fred-Wright-C-UE-Used-with-permission_fig1_265014375

    We should create a system where the workers are the owners.

    You'll improve things a bit for sure, but most assets are owned by the old. Turns out an aging society means retirees own everything and workers don't get shit.

    Always a balance between workers and people too old, young, or disabled to work. If you give everything to workers, those other groups don't get shit.
