I should not have control on how my emplouyer spends my money if it is not part of thr contract. After all, we both accepted. But if you really dislike what they do, just go get work from another and NEVER work for such a piece of rubbish right? Can I do that with the State? No, I would be enjailed. The state will not ask you. Simply like that. Factual and true.

By the same token, you could move to another country, no? The problem with this logic is that having a choice of jobs is often a privilege of having money in the first place (just like relocating to another nation). You probably can't turn down work, no matter how bad the "deal", if you need that money for food and shelter. So for many (most?) people the supposed free choice of employment is illusory. This gets even worse when you consider how competition tends to drive companies to all be shitty to employees in similar ways. It's now really common for shifts to be scheduled algorithmically and on short-notice in fast food. If you're just entering the job market or have little experience, how do you "choose" to work for a company that won't schedule you for last-minute 2 hr shifts or have you "clopen" at the behest of some scheduling algorithm?

  Do not work in fast food. But if you have to, in part it is because you cannot work elsewhere. Which takes me to... bsd choices? But even if u did it... My grandparents were raised without welfare. They were not rich. They saved money and reinvested parts in a house for many years and other things. This is a mindset. It is not about being rich or not. That is how you usually get out of poverty. As for working in fast food, probably is a consequence of not studying or having chosen studies with little demand. It is the crude truth. We cannot blame those on others. I understand how hard it is. But the reality is that there are even socialist experiments about removing prices in cooperatives in Russia for making I believe it was screws and nails. Two cooperatives provided with the same number of employees, same resources. One made better pieces than the others. Which ones do you think people wanted? And that without prices, some pieces were more valuable. What this shows is that no matter how much u try to equal things, they will naturally shift away by themselves. Jobs, faster vs slower, skilled vs unskilled. Fighting that permanently... I do not see it as a good thing.
