Janikka Perry never made it home from her shift at the bakery of a supercenter in Arkansas. She was one of many Walmart workers who have been pressured to work through illness or pain, sometimes with devastating consequences.
Foodservice, Food Processing, and Retail NEED mandatory paid sick leave. The fact that they don't, with the inevitable public health consequence, is gross to say the least. Aside from that note, any corp with as much power as Walmart needs to be broken up and/or unionized, pronto.

The people that profit off killing workers like Jannikka didn’t know her name when she was making them money, and won’t care to know her name in death.
This “society” is nothing more than a playground for sociopaths. Our very lives are in service to sociopaths that don’t consider us human without significant net worth.

A-fucking-men, I couldn’t have said this any better myself. It’s always been the ultra-rich causing problems for the Common Man, not the poor or public servants. The problem then, one that may be solvable by us, is figuring out how to shake-awake the brainwashed from their IV drip of late-stage Capitalism. More people need to congregate behind global wealth management for anything to truly be changed.
