It says more about the system of oppression.
Even Ford, an icon in capitalistic exploitation, noticed that it was cheaper for him to have workers treated better rather than have shit tired underpaid workers who made mistakes and job hopped.

Yes exactly. When people say “cruelty is the point” it’s for the people who think efficiency is the point and cruelty is the method. Efficiency is just the smokescreen to get you to accept the cruelty.
Yes, I feel like the thought is, “I can make peopel’s lives worse and it’ll only cost me $1,000/employee/year? It’s absolutely worth it to break their spirit!”
Of course, Ford had commies and bomb throwing anarchists to deal with.
Hmm.
Please post archive links, I get you either pay for or subscribe to these articles, but some of us can’t/don’t want to do either.
I put a dummy email and apparently they don’t have you confirm, but it’s definitely annoying anyway.
