When the rich are in crisis, the government bails them out.

When we're in crisis, we're supposed to stop eating avocado toast...

You'd think the working class would be a part of society "too big to fail." =\

[–] capt_wolf@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

The working class are nothing but tools for the upper class. Always have been. We are the unclean undesirables.

Is the working class failing?

If the entirety of it stopped working, im pretty sure it would be considered "too big to fail"

See plebs vs patricians literal thousands of years ago :(
