  Oh of course. But this is America, the land of the exploited.

  We still have 7.25 minimum wage.

  I mean of course it’s fucked up of course there’s room for abuse. That’s capitalism. The point of capitalism is abuse. The point of capitalism is the exploitation of the worker. In essence that’s the problem here. You keep asking why are things aren’t Fair, the answer is capitalism it’s inherently unfair. There are no rules in a capitalist Society to keep things Fair. The point of capitalism is to make things unfair.

    I’m well aware of that. As I said, “Ofc with at-will employment they can always just fire you, but like, if you think about it it’s pretty fucked up right?”

    There are so many replies that don’t get it. 1 2 3. Half the people are explaining to me how it’s “obviously” fucked up (which I already acknowledged), and the other half are telling me that it isn’t fucked up at all - maybe you should try responding to those people instead of to me.

      They’re not trying to tell you it’s not fucked up. They’re just surprised you’re stuck on the most Elemental aspect and are moving on to the next aspects. Everyone knows it’s fucked up and has moved on to the next topic. Fundamental truth to the world aren’t something we spend a lot of time talking about.

        Are reading the same replies?

        sure, but whether or not they know it they have caved to the union’s demands by doing that

        You think this demonstrates that “everyone knows it’s fucked up?” Because it sounds a lot to me like they’re saying it isn’t fucked up at all, and is in fact, “caving to the union’s demands.”
