#RevoutionaryThinking #THREAD

I just showered and shaved after a shitty night's sleep. My hair's an unprecedented #jewfro - the most personally-fascinating element of this apocalypse so far. I had some thoughts in the shower, as showers often have - about the #CorporateWorld.

The corporate world's about the #rich getting #richer - that's not news. However, the corporate worker pays a price for their "living wages" & "benefits." Stress-levels and corporate cultures can be soul-crushing, depressing and desperate - but people stay and serve their time.

Those of us outside the bubble can only marvel in wonder at daily life inside Nike's World HQ or on Google's Bay Area Campus. Even average high-tech companies mirrored those life and work combining #wonderlands, such that employees need NEVER return home.

But are they happy? Not in my experience. I saw miserable humans tasked with jobs they couldn't succeed at and given financial metrics & business goals upon which their pay, careers and future employment would be strictly judged which were literally & fantastically #unattainable.

I've had some of my hardest working coworkers commit suicide. I've had senior executives tell me they only dreamed of retiring & cared of nothing but showing up until they could. I've heard staff talk wistfully of the peace involved in a "dirt nap," while awaiting a team meeting.

My point is - WHAT will humans tolerate for THE LEVEL of pay & benefits they've built their families, homes, lifestyles, relationships, possessions and self-images upon when they know that IF THEY LEAVE, they'll NEVER attain such #TotalCompensation like that again in their lives?

In my experience - the answer is, "#ANYTHING." Any abuse, misery, injustice or perversion can be tolerated if it comes with RETAINING the financial base for their lives.

Lies? Daily.

Abusing others to lessen their abuse - yep!

Fraudulent practices? Sure - if the boss says so.

Will @Boeing workers die to KEEP A JOB in a shrinking industry? Maybe - but engineers aren't known for their lack of logical thinking. #Boeing is a TEST OF THE CORPORATE SLAVERY SYSTEM. Can workers be "returned to work" against all logic with known risk to their safety and lives?

We're gonna find out. There's no human immunity to #COVID19 - a fact. This #pandemic is beginning - not ending. That's another fact. Many people will die by and FROM "returning to work." Fact overload!

Some #Wisconsin folks even held a #VoteToTheDeath!☠️

#PublicHealth is a big island of souls we're all stuck on until #death do we part. Death's easy - #living is hard & government's harder. If we let a pandemic run wild in our #FailedState with insufficient #Testing & #HealthCare to mitigate the consequences - we're BEGGING for it.

These thoughts come as @Boeing employees are being coerced back into production by craven corporate deciders and a #MadKing. Is there a jet shortage when the world isn't traveling? No.

Trump claimed Boeing as ~1% of the U.S. Economy. It's the #PosterCorp for #ArbeitMachtFrei.☠️

Trump's plan is to force Americans back to work despite a broken & exhausted healthcare system that doesn't have #PPE or #Testing to support #PublicHealth needs, thus saving his tremendous corporations & beautiful economy. He doesn't care if his economy runs on humans or corpses.

Do you?
