I am an old woman now and although I have always recognized how the bosses steal our lives through wage slavery, I didn't really recognize how much wear and tear they do on our bodies too.
When I was young and healthy, I took the bumps and bruises, strains and sprains in stride. But they have all come back to me now as arthritis, tendinitis and other aches and pains that may or may not require medical intervention in the end.
When I was climbing poles for the phone company in San Franciscco back in the 70s and 80s, coming down hard on my ankle did not hurt too long. It healed. And so did my back injury.
But now I need to use a stick to walk on that ankle and maybe a hip replacement from what was a minor injury at the time.
So my point is that the bosses don't just rob your time, they take a long-term toll on your physical body while begrudging health care and pensions for their workers.
Another great piece. Thank you, Caitlin.
