    No, it doesn’t exist because you claim it’s true. It’s just silly talk. It is word vomit. I am paid for the work I do and the value I create. If I don’t like their offer, I can go somewhere else and make more. I control what I want to make.

            This is how the real world work. Only in communism do you have to take what’s offered. Here you can refuse and negotiate your own wage.

            You can’t refuse that because it’s the truth. If I want 150 an hour. I won’t take less than that. I don’t need their job. They need me. I don’t need them.

              Cool good for you (if that’s even true)

              Anyway, in the very real world that we live in, unemployment is kept at certain levels so capitalists can dictate wages and responsibilities. It’s not a secret. Bourgeois media openly panics whenever unemployment levels get too low.

                  Yes, they are panicking because people have bargaining power to get higher wages. Are you still not connecting the dots there?

                  I have a skill and I am not struggling like some of my other comrades are. That does not make me blind to the purpose of unemployment or to the fact that if everyone in the world had my skill set then that would mean there are a lot of important jobs that aren’t getting done, a fact that, curiously, has completely escaped you.
