Degrading shitwork

If we assume a person sleeps 8 hours a night and works a full time job, 40 hours a week, that person would nearly half their waking hours at some place of employment. And for what?

The con of wages is that by definition you are being paid less than what you have earned. If you are creating 15$ an hour of goods or services, you will be paid less than this. Otherwise how would an employer not spend everything on labor costs? The actual value, the full value of what you have created flows up the pyramid to those who own or manage the work you are doing.

Most people go to a job they don't like to make other people rich in exchange for not having to sleep in a dumpster.
