    I grew up in a communist country, and we had a saying “if you don’t steal from your employer, you’re stealing from your family”. And people acted accordingly.

    You would love that! Or perhaps not, it actually sucked for everybody.

      Wage theft (when employers don’t pay their employees what they’re owed) in the US accounts for more stolen value every year than grand theft auto, larceny, petty theft, and breaking and entering combined. Yet wage theft is not considered a crime.

      It’s the same story all over the world. The real issue isn’t the economic system but rather greedy people in positions of power with no accountability.

        The original comment did not suggest any wage theft happening, and the original comment from the communist commando treated all employers as thieves.

      What the hell are you talking about? Are you an AI bot or just stupid?

        Try reading it again. It’s not that complicated ;-)
