A new way of doing business

Im fed up with how businesses run in America. As soon as you walk in the door to any business, everything that makes America "great" no longer applies. Freedom of speech? Try speaking freely at your job and see how long you stay employed there. Democracy? Wouldn't it be grand if before you were fired, a poll had to be taken and if you were spoken of kindly in this poll, you couldn't lose your job? Novel isn't it? Democracy doesn't exist in American business. Its actually a dictatorship where the "president" is usually a fascist. Never is the person at the top a woman, or person of color. So discrimination, thats allowed in a business. Even though we tell our kids to NEVER act like that, its the norm in American business. Women paid less for better work than men? Hey thats ok in a business environment, though we would NEVER teach that outside of a work environment. Police protection? Not in a business! You can be violated in a place of business and hey thats ok too! No police there, absolutely no protection. We assume safety at the work place but if someone comes in guns a blazing because they don't like you, what protection do you have? None. Freedom of religion and expression? Everyone knows you can be fired for these things and no one will do anything about it. The supreme court recently decided that a woman can legally be fired for pumping breastmilk at work. And guess what? Weight is NOT covered as a protected status to being fired. If your discriminated against because of weight, thats your problem, no protection. Think the employer has to provide a safe place, chemical free? Nope. If they use harsh chemicals at work and you want to feed your family, guess what, no protection. You can get any number of cancers and employers don't have to warn you or even provide for you when you become ill. We could make all of these things different and what harm would it cause? People feeling appreciated and free in the workplace. That would make the fascists more money but they are too stupid, evil, and greedy to change things. So what are we to do when we have to feed our families? Put up with this misery and injustice? And to top it all off, the owner mocks the whole system further by calling himself the "president". This is why the world will never swallow your "democracy". You mock it in daily life. Things aren't required to be this way and the world could be closer to utopia if we just changed the way America does business.
