Capitalists set wages, not people. Direct your anger for an increasing lack of good paying jobs at them. At their system: Capitalism. And certainly not at people even more desperate than you that they *happily* choose to take advantage of to line their own billionaire pockets.
As of 2024, half of American workers made less than 45k. A third: Less than 35k.
Stop continuing to ask us why we're not:
Having kids.
Buying homes.
Saving.
Finding better jobs.
*Ask* corporations why they're paying their employees low wages & making record profits.
The D.A. admitting a for-profit insurance company is part of the government is a mask off moment for the system. Luigi Mangione’s indictment basically confirms that the state exists to serve corporate power, which is precisely what fascism is.

The purple line is the wealth of the top 1%. Notice how decade after decade it just keeps going up, up, up.
The blue and red lines are the wealth of 90% of Americans. Notice how it never goes up.
This is life under U.S. capitalism and what voting for the duopoly gets you.
Every election Democrats tell us “democracy and basic human rights are on the ballot”—but when they have power they don’t actually fight for democracy or human rights. They fight for Big Business, the ruling class, and the military industrial complex just like the Republicans do.
They can only see today's profit. Either way, regardless of how well it's working for the workers, the capitalist ruling class will always benefit from & uphold the system of capitalism. & that's why they work mighty hard at making us hate or be ignorant of any alternative to it.
Some of the capitalist ruling class want it regulated enough to keep the masses from revolting. To convince workers that capitalism works. Some have convinced themselves it does. The rest just don't care and don't have the foresight to try to regulate it.
"Self sacrifice, within the context of revolutionary action, is an expression of the highest understanding of life, and of the struggle to make life worthy of a human being."
