in the context of capitalism, sure.
- ChrisLomont 6y agoIn the context of humanity. People do this even in non-capitalist countries. Or do you think that when a country is not capitalist the people suddenly stop doing things to benefit themselves?
- mikelyons 6y agoWorker's incentives seem more along the "do whatever those with resources say to trade your mind and body and time for survival"
- ChrisLomont 6y agoCompanies compete for workers. Don’t like your current situation, leave. Companies know this, so cannot simply do whatever they want. Both sides have power, and the same incentives.
- mikelyons 6y agoI would argue that this is a perspective of someone with power in the job market, and perhaps that perspective is limited to a small portion of workers' experiences. I also find "don't like it, leave" to be a very unaware oversimplification of the situation many American workers are in.
