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

  Yes! Sadly, at least as near as I can figure, this is on purpose.

  People with disposable income can organize businesses, demonstrations, and communities. They may threaten the status quo.

  People that must work daily to not starve cannot organize anything. They may not even know their neighbours. They are exposed and vulnerable.

  Remember how in the early 2000’s, it seemed we were on the cusp of a great turning point? More people, not nearly all people, had access to good paying jobs and disposable income? It seemed progress may finally start. Then 2008 wiped many people out. The new wealth was concentrated. (I am leaving a lot out.)

  Anyway, there are not as many people that can organize as one may assume. There will not be until fewer people are financially vulnerable.
