- HiLo 11y agoJust curious, by extension are you saying nobody/nothing forces people to accept the wages they're given?
- nerevarthelame 11y agoNo "one" person did. But their circumstances certainly encouraged it. By that, I mean that if a person has a baby on the way, mountains of debt from school, an overdue rent payment, and no health insurance, then he or she may be forced to take a paltry salary. But hey, it's better than debtors prison or death, right? So let's call that social justice. Particularly with the absence of unions in many American industries and the overall inefficiencies present in the labor market, many individuals are not in a position where they can negotiate a wage that is worthy of the quality of work they provide.
