Compromise is an enemy

When we settled for a 40-hour work week, it certainly was better than a 72-hour one. But why stop at 40-hours? Because industrialists and capitalists created laws that said so. As a result, we settled that this is the way things are. So, we settle again when healthcare isn’t a fundamental human right because, hey, that’s just the way things are. We settled with a two-party system because it seemed too big to change the political system when the one we got carried us here. The goalpost keeps moving, and we watch as humanity corrodes. It is easy to settle when you have already done it once. The same is true about corruption. When you do it once, you feel like you can get away with it again.
