>All that’s really being asked of us is to give up all our productive years in service to people with no ethics, to make them richer. People who are more than happy to use you up and toss your corpse on the pile when you die. Is that really too much?

It's been that way for thousands of years -- what's new now?

People have been suffering and dying in terrible ways since the dawn of time. And yet we’re trying to improve on this to reduce suffering and death. What’s your point?

Echo chambers used to be the local pub. Now it's an entire subreddit.

Thousands of years ago, the upper class could kill you if you disobeyed. The stakes aren't as high nowadays. Yay for separating courts from employers.

An insane amount of capital looking for ROI probably also helps put people in a spot where they can afford to take a chance.
