If you’re #unemployed, it’s not because there isn’t any #work.

Just look #around: A #housing shortage, #crime, #pollution; we need better #schools and #parks. Whatever #our #needs, they all require work. And as long as we have #unsatisfied needs, there’s work to be done.

So #ask #yourself, what kind of #world has work but no jobs? It’s a world where work is not related to satisfying our needs, a world where work is only related to satisfying the #profit needs of #business.

This #country was not built by the huge #corporations or #government #bureaucracies. It was built by #people who work. And, it is #working people who should #control the work to be done. Yet, as long as #employment is tied to #somebody else’s #profits, the work won’t get done.
