Unregulated capitalism

"Well written.
What you see ongoing is the result of the fall of the Berlin wall. Unregulated, untamed ruthless capitalism just as the lobby wanted it. Freedom? Yeah the freedom of few to screw the multitudes digitally brainwashed and queuing hours to buy a phone. It will not work out and eventually something will happen. "Managers" are nowadays just managing their wallet, often incompetent imbeciles. To save on crew that account to 10-15% of costs its outright stupid. Time to fight back starting with IATA. "

Totally agree. We must stop the McDonaldisation of societies which is basically the LowCo model on our entire lives. Temporary contracts, zero hours contracts, no workers' rights, Unions demonization and disappearance, etc...excellent trend for the few greedy profit makers at the top, who represent <1% of society, total disaster for the vast majority of the remaining hard-working human beings.
A correction is needed. Urgently.
But how? Governments and Unions seem also part of this suicidal game.
