Capital has gotten too cocky and has forgotten that all profits are created by labor.
It is time we change that. We need to unionize, strike and shut down production. The tactics of the industrial revolution still work in the digital age.

Political Economist Daron Acemoglu won a Nobel Prize last year for studying the difference between democracies that manage the relationship between labor and capital and authoritarian regimes that fail to do so.
