This is something that drives me so mad, and it’s exactly why corporations need to be strictly regulated on a global scale.
If people are granted any voluntary dignity, someone out there is always willing to “undercut” their fellow workers to get an “edge” on the market or whatever and prove what a sweaty exploitable tryhard they can be, then it races to the bottom for all.
If a company wants to pay its workers a living wage, their competition will undercut them by stepping on their employees for an “advantage in the market.”
You’re right, it’s simply not a system that solves for human well-being, it solves solely for hoarding and growing large numbers of imaginary value.
