You know exactly what I mean. Why are you asking for clarification when it’s spelled out in the article what they wanted to do?

Tons of companies have fired half their employees and then re-hired them as contractors with lower salaries/wages.

And yet, you are complaining about the system that stopped it from happening.

And yeah, of course I understood what you meant. You also understood what I meant. Maybe you should look at “corruption” instead, you’ll get much better results there.

  I think you’ve misunderstood. They’re arguing against the capitalist approach in which there was an attempt to fire and rehire employees to cheat employees and save the company money. The system which prevented the company from doing so was government intervention to protect workers, which is not a capitalist approach.

    You’re arguing in good faith. They are not.

  Capitalism didn’t prevent this from happening. Capitalism is the reason this was attempted in the first place.

  Capitalism didn’t stop it from happening… government oversight stopped it from happening.
