They do a lot to make not working less appealing, specifically as an employee. Absolutely no fruit trees allowed in public. Its illegal to exist outside long term. Lots of address requirements. Its illegal to sell a lot of homemade things(in my state at least you can only sell food if it was not prepared whatsoever. I can sell you a tomato i grew, but if i try to sell you tomato soup thats illegal), and its illegal to exist outside to sell.

Be careful. You make too much sense!
Because muh economy. Capitalism will always "push the bill" on what they can do. shite gov doesn't/wouldn't keep up with regulations to aide the working class.
My question is what's the point in eternal growth? Why would one cut employees but boost executives? Money corrupts? Or is it them "getting theirs"
I hate that term “eternal growth” and similar phrases, because it makes it seem like society as a whole grows eternally. It’s just larger increments for the ruling class. That’s it. The general public gets fucked for the ruling class.
capitalism has always carried the implied threat of starvation for those unable or unwilling to labor in order to enrich the capital owning class.
this sort of vapid whitewashing/revisionism is just 'maga' for neoliberals, and is entirely devoid of substance.
show me a period of prosperity under capitalism and I'll show you a marginalized population subjugated.
There used to be a counter to the "stick" of starvation, which was the "carrot" of comfort.
The need to eat isn't some human invention and we can't fault capitalism for that. We can complain that food should be distributed to the poor but there are many more needs that must be addressed for life. We can also complain that capitalism has expanded so far that living outside of it is no longer possible. What we cannot do is blame capitalism for the existence of human needs.
Calling the posted image "vapid whitewashing" ignores the nature of reality and suggests a failure to adequately consider and understand the real nature of the human condition. Calling it MAGA for neoliberals is straight up stupidity.
Because we live in a society where we literally need currency to survive. We pay to live and live to work to give our production to billionaires.
More unions is a step closer to being able to general strike.
It has become a gatcha game, you put time in and you might get something worthwhile out of it, or you might get more poverty
