• Some bloody idiots have turned/transitioned Wikipedia from a lousy PUBLIC RELATIONS platform (which is what Wikipedia became in recent years) into a bloody DATING SITE, advertising their supposed importance based on obvious lies and gloating about their delicious tits or anus of whatever. Wikipedia is going down the drain in pursuit of EMBEDDED advertising money. It's an advertising site. You buy ads as "donations".

• Employers pay workers less per hour (purchasing power down) -> workers must work more hours/jobs/both partners work -> workers lack time to cook proper food -> health deteriorates, sleep deteriorates, quality of work down, workers lose capacity to work early or die early; no time or money to invest in and teach kids -> kids/skills/worker shortage. It all starts with fake job creators hoarding capital, not paying workers.
