lil blueberry, my friend, you will win no support for any cause by throwing around phrases like "scabs of the industry".
By definition a scab is a strike breaker, and anybody who takes a job for less than what you believe reasonable is not a scab. That is the fact of the matter.
Disillusioned you may be, but don't throw emotions into any argument/ discussion, because you'll be cut down so fast you won't see it happen, and anything you say will be treated with indifference, even scorn, or ignored completely.
We've all been through times when we feel the world is agin us, but a true mark of character is how you handle those situations; currently you're not doing too well.
Keep to the facts and you will not only win arguments, but friends.
