Why are so many people being overworked and underpaid?

From what I understand, men are dropping out and chicks are working longer hours for less instead.

Economically this country is in a depression where small companies do not have the means to pay their employees more nor hire more staff without immediately going under and risking bankruptcy. This is combined with the fact that the largest companies are more interested in outsourcing labor for cheap at the expense of harboring low retention rates despite having the means to pay their employees more. So, you’re either treading water at a small company or you’re hopping around larger ones while competing with people who are more desperate than you and cost the company even less than you do.

Yeah, it’s grim.

That's it, own some things and you need no more than 1h/day of work and you can have everything you need to survive.

Inflation. The value of the business, stocks, and other assets go up instantly with inflation but people working an actual job have much slower pay increases. Meaning the already rich get a to raise customer prices while not increasing pay to their workers and they pocket the difference.

If inflation is bad enough everyone loses. But moderate to small inflation always benefits people with money already, and to an extent benefits people in debt.

Inflation is a personal problem.
If inflation affects you, you're a retard.
Of course, there are way to many retards out there.
You know the paper currency goes down in value with each passing day, so the best course of action is to give it away as soon as possible for useful physical assets.
Food, water, tools, silver, weapons, gold, ammo, literally anything that's useful and valuable.
People become poor because they hold onto it.
All you have to spend it fast, if you want to save your work for the future and not spend it now, get money, get coins (physical silver and physical gold).

The current monetary system requires that the people who produce the most valuable goods and services are the ones paid the least.

Currency only has value if people are being forced to work to produce goods and services in exchange for it. Houses, manufactured goods, maintenance, infrastructure.
BUT, if the people who produce goods and services are paid too much, they will no longer feel the need to keep working & producing. They will be able to retire.

An example:
If the people who build homes or work in factories were actually being paid in proportion of the value they produce, they would easily be able to retire after 5-10 years of work.
But then they would stop producing the goods that make the currency valuable. So wages and labor must be regulated in a way that these essential workers are paid just enough to survive and keep working.

That's why the current system rewards useless eaters that produce nothing valuable (white collar employees) with high wages, to drive consumption, while the value producers are being paid as little as possible to force them to keep working.

If you choose a trade or blue collar profession, you are being enslaved by the system and the true value of your labor is being siphoned away to white collar parasites, business owners and the government.
This is not a leftist point of view, by the way. This is something that people who understand we are NOT living in a free market (anyone with a brain) can easily deduce. Western economies are not free market economies.

Posts like these are examples to why I stopped believing in Free Speech, and why Lolbertarians should be given the death penalty.
None of these mother fuckers actually know what they are talking about, have unreasonable expectations for the vast majority of people, and can vote and influence your life.
You, your friendz, your neighbors, anyone your age that wasn’t born into wealthy family living on a van and eating only scraps is seen as “reasonable” by people who were able to buy a home at 24 as just a cashier. Those same people also think that a CEO NOT being able to treat their employees as defacto slaves (slaves were provided food, shelter, and water, something Zuck and Jeffy would never do) is unreasonable and would somehow create a 1984 big brother, as if the CEOs they bootlick aren’t already stealing their data, watching them daily, and constantly trying to gaslight people.
The cause? Constant propaganda that’s allowed and spread by Freedom of Speech.
If a company wants to gaslight boomers into believing “their kids aren’t being underpaid”, they can have news articles talking about how popular avocado toast is, or have bots repeat that dogma.
If a company wants to lobby ID verification (like Meta is doing right now) so there is a database of people’s face they can use for advertisement, a company can Lobby congress to get those laws passed and screw over everyone else.
If a politician wants to fix problems like Ghost Jobs or Pizza Parties, Big Corp can spam social media to call him a commie and claim QoL improvements is unconstitutional.
And this shit works because Free Speech and Democracy only work if all of society is high IQ with low IQ retards being a fringe minority.
And there is no cure for it. How many times have people tried explaining to boomers the modern economy? Countless. That’s why they need to be killed.

What makes you think that if freedom of speech is restricted, it will be the voices of the powerful that are limited and not your voice that is stopped? While I agree with your overall sentiment, stopping morons from speaking won't do anything if you can't control who is considered a moron by the law. Remember, during the pandemic several countries tried to get resistance to "the jabs" declared a mental illness. They'd love to be able to do the same for any opposition to their agenda.

There's no way out though. The greed of these large corporations is built into the system. If one of these large companies was to do right by the American people and stopped offshoring, started hiring Americans, and didn't use AI to cut jobs (instead of just using it to lessen the workload/boost productivity as opposed to replacing productivity), they would still make a boat load of money, but they wouldn't be making a bigger boat load of money than last year, which means no growth, which means the stock tanks.
We're witnessing the end stages of a system that demands infinite growth. A lot of these companies have squeezed everything they could out of organic growth and their last resort for the last two decades is to cut spendings by offshoring, paying people as little as possible, reducing head count and overworking those that are left...
There's literally no way out that leads to a better place without also being a total calamity in the short and medium term.
