Gotta shut down the factory that makes this kinda guy

"Oops, it was just one of many unconnected occurrences and not something endemic to an economic model that takes the labor value away from the people who perform it!" No, our economy requires people to be desperate enough to exchange their labor for pay doing something they don't want to do.
