Here’s a newer iteration of the classic poem:

I made a dime,
That was a poem
From a simpler time.Now Boss makes a thousand
And gives us a cent

Who can’t pay the rent.So when Boss makes a million
And the workers make jack
Then that’s when we riot
And take our lives back.#WorkingClassSolidarity

(the first is the book 1984 by George Orwell, btw)
It’s depressing seeing the top replies bickering over whether or not 1984 is or isn’t anti/pro communist.
It’s better to see a bit further down, Leftists arguing with each other on how good or bad of a socialist Orwell was but at least agreeing he was very socialist.
It’s when Leftists stop arguing that you know something’s really wrong.

Wait…you get to wake up at 830?
Well done. I imagine most of that was improvised.
(Back in the day when comedians had to write their own material, which meant waking up at 1 am, making a candle from their own ear wax, lighting it with an especially noxious fart, etc etc)
I hardly know where to begin with this article but it is clearly demands that workers’ human bodies be much more like machines:
