Right sentiment, wrong solution.
You don't fix workers' problems by being a dick to them and making it hard for them to afford to live - you fix workers' problems by inflicting the pain on the decision makers - employers and legislators.

15C'mon, Trotsky, don't be a dick
Literally impossible
10He do be right.
4Fuck Trotsky, all the homies hate Trotsky.
