Are You Working To Live or Living To Work? And How Did The Latter Become The Norm?

from From Dirt We Grow

While corporate profits hit record highs, real wages haven't kept up with inflation, leaving millions working harder just to fall further behind. Add in the nonexistent work-life balance, and it's clear: the system isn't broken—it's rigged. In this episode, we break down how stagnant wages, rising costs, and the relentless grind are squeezing the working class dry. Why are we expected to work more just to afford less? And more importantly, what can actually be done about it?  This is a public episode.
