    Add it to the death toll of capitalism, along with the 10 million each year who are starved to death or have life-saving medicines withheld by greedy capitalists.

    Man, this is heavy to read, especially with International Labour Day around the corner. We talk so much about productivity, growth, and prosperity but the reality is that labour has been squeezed harder and harder while the benefits of that prosperity keep flowing upward.

    Who is seriously championing a four day work week? Who is pushing for fairer wealth distribution? Who is fighting for regulations that actually protect workers from burnout, insecurity, harassment and endless stress?

    At some point, we have to admit that these are not just personal health issues. They are structural issues. Work should not be costing people their health, their families, their peace, and in too many cases, their lives. I hate this.

    I’ve lost like 60lbs since I was restructured out of work 5 months ago. High blood pressure is gone. I have hardly changed my lifestyle. The only difference is stress is a lot lower.
