Comment on where are worker rights parades? why are we focusing on very limited issues?

A couple reasons:
- Most people are not emotionally invested in their job, the way they are with their identity.
- People are afraid that demonstrating will either cost them their job directly, or move them to the front of the line for the next 'layoffs’
- Income inequality causes infighting.
- Small Business owners are often the first group to feel pain from workers rights, and major corps are last.
- Lobbiests, politicians, and major (social) media networks working together to suppress the movement.
There are other reasons too, and none of them are ‘good’ reasons, but they are all realities.
