Greed is evil.

This is sorely needed, there's a growing divide amongst white collar and blue collar workers. Covid accelerated it when almost all white collar workers worked from home and saw no negative effects from the pandemic financially while laborers saw their lives and livelihoods thrown into chaos and many faced dangerous working conditions rather than face financial ruin.

Ai might end up reversing this dynamic soon, but for now, workers need more.
