"An Employer's Demand for Accelerated Output without Increased Pay"

"This will keep up as long as we buy into three fallacies: One, that to feel crushed by debilitating workloads is a personal failing.

To name but three: turning over the financing of elections to wealthy interests [32]; making it harder for unions [33] to organize; deregulating Wall Street (and completely wimping out on reregulating [34] it after the financiers nearly destroyed the global economy).
