You saw who posted that video on YouTube, didn't you? Charlie Kirk — a still wet-behind-the-ears conservative twat from Illinois who has been drinking the Trump-ade for the better part of his life. I'm sure he's hoping to parlay his Apple podcasts and his so-called radio show (or whatever) on something called "Salem Radio Network" into a spot on NewsMax or Fox News.
But the kid in the video does have one thing correct. "Black Lives Matter" DOESN'T matter... and the real reason is because NO ONE'S life matters — blacks, whites, minorities, the handicapped, the young, heterosexuals, homosexuals, transgenders, women,
nobody — at least not to the people running the companies or the banks or the government. Unless you have a couple of hundred million dollars and can hobnob on their level, you are just disposable, consumable raw material to keep them in their cushy positions and corporate jets and custom yachts.
They'll put you to work, sure — they'll give you a job for the absolute least they can legally get away with paying you. How else can you explain policy that sets the minimum wage for waitresses at less per hour than the price of the bottle of domestic beer they serve you? And benefits? Fuhgeddaboudit! Then they will spend much of what they DON'T pay their employees to support, elect, and re-elect the people who pass the laws to permit them to do that in the first place, laws that make it more difficult for employees to organize, laws that hobble existing unions, and laws like so-called "RIGHT TO WORK" and "AT-WILL EMPLOYMENT" laws that make it easier and easier to discharge anyone for any reason, such as a woman who dares to become pregnant, have a baby, and is
NOT willing to get right up out of the delivery stirrups and be back on the job the next day but would prefer to take some time off to recover and to care for her newborn.
And then, when said employee DOES burn out, get used up, or just no longer become of value to them — or somehow finds themself in a position to tell 'em to take a fuggin' hike and walk away — they'll replace them with the next wage-slave in line, just like they would a dried-out ballpoint pen with the next one out of the box.
