I really don't understand the mentality here sometimes. HNers want ultimate choice for themselves, but the choices of the companies they work for are to be constrained such that the only choices they make are choices that benefit them. They want both ultimate security and benefit of market forces on their salaries. Libertarianism only when it suits them.
