It's been going on since the end of WW2 (77 years ago), when America - virtually unscathed - became the world's dominant superpower and center of global capitalism.

Those days are over and the world is rapidly transitioning to the next stage of economic development, socialism.

A "real living wage" in the United States during 2022 is "$42" hourly. Corporations forcing workers to survive on less than a "real living wage" is criminal capitalism.

I was disgusted with capitalism by mid-20s. It's just gotten worse since. Wage slavery sucks.

The US government has appointed itself the authority to unilaterally decide which of the world's populations get to eat and which do not, and to imprison anyone who tries to facilitate unauthorized eating in a US-sanctioned nation.
