The billionaires need labor to not organize against them. If labor organized, they’d be screwed. Luckily for them you exist. The billionaires are safe as long as they can keep you doing what you’re doing now, which is try to divide labor into groups of “us” vs “them”. Anything that generates friction and hinders organizing is a win for them. I invite you to help work towards a solution, there is always room for more help. There are apparently 6,000 more people who are going to be motivated and have a bit of extra time on their hands. Maybe they can help too.
