"The great principle underlying the present #system is #unpaid #labor. Those who amass fortunes, build palaces, and live in luxury, are doing that by virtue of unpaid labor. Being directly or indirectly the possessors of land and machinery, they #dictate their terms to the workingman. He is compelled to sell his labor cheap, or to starve. The #price paid him is always far below the real value. He acts under compulsion, and they call it a free contract."
— Michael Schwab

The world has changed, radically and in ways unknown since the 1940s. But #Albanese & #Dutton aren’t reacting. They’re like deer in the headlights of history.
