I speak for myself and others when I say that people are burnt out. There’s nothing to be gained from working hard. We don’t get raises and employers laugh in our faces when we talk about the massive inflation of everyday essentials. Unions are just cooperating with industry because they’re scared of the capitalists just packing up and leaving. The government is too busy supporting war, xenophobia, and billionaires to even notice that working people are struggling. Of course we’re out sick. We are sick. It’s a completely normal response to the sick environment in which we’re forced to live.
