    wage theft is the biggest crime in the country. Which causes severe poverty, which leads for people stealing to survive.

    guess which one is addressed by the state?

    At one of my old jobs, some of the software engineers would work nights and weekends without being paid extra. I said we shouldn’t do that. Management gave me a talking to about how I was demoralizing the team and it doesn’t hurt me if they want to work extra. It didn’t seem the appropriate time to argue that them devaluing the same labor I do does hurt me.

    Capitalism is based on theft. If a worker makes 100 burgers, but their pay is only worth 15 burgers, the capitalist stole 85 burgers worth of production from the worker. The entire system relies on exploitation and theft.
