I think you're reading a little too much into my above comment.
Just to reduce my point to the basics:
Either the evil guy makes lots of money (in the sense of profit) -> You start your own business in the same sector -> get some of that market share and profit -> pay your workers better -> everyone is happy except evil guy
Or the evil guy doesn't make a lot of money -> He cannot pay his workers more -> He's not the evil guy.
Sure, this isn't black and white but as long as there isn't a monopoly on anything involved, the above holds.
- workinfunk 8y agoSure, because every low-skill, low-wage worker can plausibly start their own business to compete with the established market. What world do you live in?
- pnutjam 8y agoYour a fool if you don't see how the "evil guy" can undercut the good guy all day long. Evil has a pause button.
- dmichulke 8y agoIn a way you're saying I'm correct. Let's just stop complaining and force evil guys to press the pause button by competing with them. As a side note, it is an open question whether truly evil guys have a pause button (I assume Sauron and Darth Vader don't have one) or whether there are other things at work. Maybe those guys just spent years living close to poverty to make their start-up a huge success. Maybe not. Just saying there are somewhat understandable reasons that don't necessarily mean the guy is evil.
