    thry pay employees enough for people to work, if there were fewer desperate labourers and the same amount of work needed to be done they would be forced to pay more

      They pay employees enough that we have to then pay for those employees’ welfare. It’s not a free market. It’s a subsidized one.

      Companies would pay you near zero if they could. And all they have to do to accomplish that is remove the minimum wage and cut social programs.

          In that scenario theft and murder happen until the economy and government fix themselves.

      If they didnt have enough desperate laborers they would make it so. Too well paid to say no to slave jobs? A few million in lobbying will see you get replaced by a crappy machine, promoted to do 3 jobs for the pay of 1, lose your benefits, or some other shit.

        yes, and a perpetually shrinking labour force counteracts that nicely.
