Krystal Ball: Freedom for whom?

Yeah, you have freedom if you can afford it. But who can afford it? Certainly not the working class anymore, unless you consider their "freedom to work in indentured servitude" (3:00). Or the freedom of "blue collar workers for Amazon [whose] movements are tracked, controlled, surveilled" and "warehouse workers are intentionally burned out and pushed down after three years" (1:05). And why do we have these conditions? "You see a truly free working class is too much of a threat to power to possibly tolerate (3:15). [...] Freedom has to be quashed before it hardens into expectations of a decent and dignified life" (3:40). So much for freedom, eh?
