What I am alarmed at, is the apparent casual nature of conversation we have about people 'positions not existing anymore'.

It no longer alarms anyone, no longer seems wrong to anyone that worker rights, which are the bedrock of a fair and just society, are being eroded right before our own eyes.

I don't advocate for socialism, but unchecked capitalism will lead to a fragile society, rife with periodic revolutions and collapses.

Lack of empathy for workers and the masses is the true cancer of democracy.
