What will I take for workers to take action against stuff like this?
Scarcity of food.
Then they will just fight against each other for the remaining food... probably while their corporate overlords find ways to market the fights.
Well, if there was food hoarded by the wealthy, I'd agree with you. But I'm not sure. Much like storming the Bastille, it'd be more symbolic than anything.
Billionaires have a big number on a piece of paper, but they don't really have anything of value to a revolution, so I think most of them would just end up on the street like anyone else.
I think their comment was more about how those content with bread and circuses will tolerate a lot more abuse in other ways to avoid risk losing those things. When doing nothing is punished by the stick of death, the other sticks seem a lot less intimidating.
