I made my boss clear that he's not doing me a faviour by employing me, but instead we've made a fair deal: I work in the companies interest, they give me money.
My leader in the company can help to organize and represent my work, however, he can not treat me like a resource nor give me orders.
I fared very well by being clear on this in the beginning. Now I am basically free to work on what I think what needs to be done.
It's a decision to accept authority over you. You do not have to. Often, you shouldn't.
The government should apply regulation to not let this prophecy become reality, for else money will steer the people, not rational thought.
I'd rather plant my own food than to buckle for money. The more people think like that, the better we all will be off. This is not binary.
Do not forget that the company needs you, too.
