Blackmoor Vituperative

We’ve created the cyberpunk dystopia which used to be fiction.

Key points:

• Decline in wages is directly aligned with decline in unions.
• Top 10% larger share of revenue/wages is inversely proportional to declining union membership.
• There isn’t a lack of jobs. There is a lack of full-time, good paying jobs. There are a lot of contract and part time workers who can’t seem to get a fair shot at full time employment. And despite the low unemployment rate, employers aren’t relaxing their strict requirements for the full time jobs, for the most part.
