For those wondering why a young man could not get a job, then got 1000 offers when his story was told, don't wonder any more.

Businesses and the government create and love unemployment. It's part of the game.

Companies need unemployment because it allows them to blackmail workers to shut up and accept any crap thrown at them. Even TVET campaigns are about creating unemployment for technical people.

If you believe the story that there are not enough plumbers, masons etc, and yet they earn alot of money, don't focus on the part of "there are not enough..." Focus on "they earn alot of money." Because what pains companies is having to pay good wages.

So companies want the market to flood with TVET grads and then pay slave wages. And if TVET grads are imprisoned by Muigai's prison company, nobody has to pay them at all. Same with HELB and CRB. By imprisoning young people in debt, employers can pay, or not, whatever they want.

As I said in my lecture on alienation of workers, the bottom line of capitalism is that you must not have control over your work or your earnings. So these business people will bribe the state to create conditions where it is always businesses that can dictate the working terms.

They want TVET and CBC to flood the market with skills. If we really wanted technical workers, Atwoli and friends at @cotukeofficial would be strengthening the unions to demand better wages, which would encourage people to join those skills. But what is Atwoli doing? Hmm.

@cotukeofficial When you hear businesses worrying about unemployment, they are not empathizing with the young unemployed people. They are sending a coded message to the state to "do something" with young people who might uproot this exploitation when they finally wise up.

@cotukeofficial And I hope you're noticing that the media is part of this game. Now millions of young people will be taking a GAMBLE (yes, gambling isn't just about money) and sending their stories to the media, in the hope that their story might get told and they get a job.

@cotukeofficial Unemployment makes business for media. That's why they have career pullouts.

Kenya is being transformed into one big plantation, where we will work as slaves, because companies can use debt and state (CBC, prison and CRB) to control us.

You're being played. Enjoy the show.
