All libertarians: "the system is unfair because it doesn't go my way 100% of the time."

How can so many of these people be shady for all of their adult lives and still be so sloppy about it?
Sad!

The jobs report was good. I mean conservatives know nothing about economics and why things are good but this is reason to celebrate because a good economy is the only thing that might stop a blue massacre this fall.
But it is telling that the market didn't freak out because wage growth was not that high. It should be clear at this point how much Wall Street is against labor. And they snitch on themselves constantly

Corporate executives have long complained about the difficulty of finding workers, particularly in sectors like construction and trucking. Economists have generally reacted with skepticism, arguing that if there were really a shortage of qualified workers, companies would be raising pay to compete for talent.
And after nine consecutive years of steady growth, workers outside of the professional-managerial class are getting two percent raises. American financial centric capitalism is oh so generous.
It's funny how the majority of the capitalist classes (especially the petite bourgeoisie) as well as the professional-managerial class love applying econ 1 concepts to complex situations, they especially hate minimum wage hikes and cite highly simplified, perfect market labor market models when doing so. But once they realize they might have to pay "unskilled" workers more money, suddenly econ goes out the window. They can't find PhD credentialed physicists to work in their factory for 10 bucks an hour, time to blame millennial culture for a lack of workers who will work for well below the market rate. Can't retain talent in a tightening job market? Blame a lack of grit on the part of younger workers.
Now that the labor market has really tightened (at least in parts of the country and the economy that the bourgeois center-left and center-right press actually care about), we see ridiculous articles like "18 Ways to attract workers: More bounce houses and bean bag chairs." Here is a radical idea, pay more money, quite a bit more money and you'll get workers. It's simple economics, the thing that the ruling class loves to trot out in every other discussion.
I would have most of the business owners and managers thrown out of a plane but sadly, people from the proletariat would soon take their place. We need a drastic social and political reorganization. When two to three percent raises are good news after decades of stagnation, when this is probably the best that the masses are gonna get (by design, capitalism produces downturns and we are due for a big one) then we need something completely new.
