Capitalism fucked us hard, can’t afford to salt any more

Can’t afford to pay workers

Can’t afford to find workers

Can’t afford happy coworkers

Can’t afford benefits

Can’t afford sick days

Can’t afford flexibility

Can’t afford human dignity

Can’t afford a short commute

Can’t afford time at home

Can’t afford a family

Can’t afford healthcare

Can’t afford education

Can’t afford daycare

Can’t afford compassion

Can’t afford to help

Can’t afford to care

Can’t afford a happy society

Can’t afford a healthy society

Can’t afford a peaceful society
