At least 3 but probably 6. Anyone who tells you 8 is a liar.

We should offer to help them stand with him in solidarity, so to speak

For Devo's 40th anniversary album, Vice published a great article about them being the most misunderstood band of all time. Calling Devo a one-hit-wonder is a sign of ignorance shared with the majority of society. I probably would have thought the same before reading that article

I hope their upper management is eaten before the end of the week

That's a solution I could get behind!

Purchase was the wrong word. Acquire?

Some punishments are simply too cruel

The best part of long-term solutions is that they're actually solutions. The worst part about immediate satisfaction is that it's only immediately satisfying. If someone has an immediate problem, it's hard to get them to look at long-term solutions.

You're right. But they would have literally starved or been mangled by a machine if they had done nothing. Back then, the greatest weapons the top 1% had were hired guns.

A century ago, your choices were to die today on strike, or die tomorrow from starvation or work conditions, even if you play by the rules. Now, the greatest weapon the 1% has is complacency. You can die today on strike or you can play by the rules and the corporate overlords will feed you just enough until you become too expensive to feed.

How do you ask someone to starve when they have a legitimate alternative? Complacency is a killer.
