Employers are greedy and evil. Their focus is profit maximization. Not employee well being.
Given the chance, do you really think employers will even give vacation days to employees? No way. They will want you to work 24/7 if the govt. is ok with it.
- throw123123123 5y agoWhere do you think the salary comes from in the beginning?
- kumarvvr 5y agoAt the beginning of civilized society? From the government itself. Then it slowly evolves into capital flow to people closely connected to the government (aristocrats, royalty, etc) and then to common people through banks. You seem to imply that for any entrepreneurship, you need to have no worker protections at all. But that is simply false.

- throw123123123 5y ago> From the government itself There is no government possible without incomes that support it. You got this exactly the other way around.
- ekianjo 5y ago> If the government doesn't make laws that define broad principles, capitalism will eat you alive. Has it? Levels of life of the whole world are on the rise for the past 20 years at least - if you want to make that argument the current data does not support that at all.
- boardwaalk 5y agoLook up the industrial revolution and labor laws. Y'know, when things like child labor were outlawed. Good things, I hope you will agree.
- kwere 5y agoford & Westinghouse disagree with you, but that is possible only in non-feudalistic sectors and benevolent masters
