Bitcoin brings power back to the people

This Labor Day, we must not forget the importance of protecting the value of the workforce, which is now reinforced by bitcoin.

Organized work gave people the power to fight big companies and secure their rights in the workplace. Bitcoin returns power to people to protect these rights once and for all.

Labor Day is usually a time to relax with your friends and family, and enjoy much-needed downtime before the holidays start.

While this has become the contemporary meaning of Labor Day, its origin dates back more than a century.

Oregon was the first state to proclaim Labor Day a holiday. The first bill was passed on 21 February 1887. By the end of 1894, 23 states adopted the recess and Congress made it a federally recognized recess during the same year.

Former Labour and Workers

The modern workplaces we have today are a direct result of organised work. When the industrial revolution was at its height, workers' rights were not respected.

Life as a worker during this age was hell.

How do you want to work 12 hours a day

seven days a week and barely succeed?

These are the circumstances in which many of your ancestors worked to support their families.

Early children as young as five had to labour to provide for their family.
Children who now work are deemed inhumane
but described it as normal at the time.
In addition to working long hours

working conditions were dangerous and business owners could not take care of your health and well-being.

Years of work like this have left people tired and ready for revolution - not much different from what we have today, right?

At the time, workers took to the streets and sometimes killed in protest of their rights as people who could not be exploited by the financial elite.

The Haymarket case was an example of people being killed. Seven policemen and four civilians were killed when police tried to break up a pro-worker march in Chicago.

Blood was shed to give us what to take now. Do you like working just 8 hours a day?

Do you enjoy relaxing at the weekend?

You have unions to thank for that too

Do you have health insurance through your employer?

You can thank organized work too.

When you give credit on due date

Without the labor movement's efforts

where will America be now?

Working without any chance to live a good life?

We're not supposed to work to death. The monetary system based on credit and incentive to exploit people created poor working conditions before organized work took hold.

Unions tend to get notoriety because of partisan media and how they are portrayed to the wider public.

The number of union members appears to have fallen from an all-time high of 20 per cent of the workforce (17 million people) to 14 million in 2021.

Unions no longer possess the power they once had to improve working environments and increase workers' wages.

The state and local governments now generally play this role.

This change also affected how concentrated union membership was.

Public sector employees have the highest union rates at 33.9 per cent.

This rate is five times higher than the private sector workers' rate of 6 per cent.

The departure of trade unions from the private sector left workers defending themselves against the conglomerates of greedy companies that push their employees to the limit.

Employee fatigue is a real phenomenon, and workers resign in large numbers. The phrase "great resignation" was not coined overnight.

White-collar and blue-collar workers cannot escape the overwhelming wheel created by paper money.

The people we rely on to care for us are under tremendous pressure.

14 per cent of doctors reported using drugs or drinking on

the job to deal with exhaustion and PTSD from the pandemic.

The roots of the problem are credit-based funds and the need for central banks to inflate the currency. It is inflation that makes businesses and people run faster on the wheel until we reach breaking point.
