There's no evil conspiracy. There are convergent interests. Wealth wants to retain wealth. Labor wants to get wealth for the labor. Employers want to spend as little as possible on labor to retain wealth. Our (US) tax policy encourages this behavior.
Everyone should have transparent pricing - yes. It seems like you're just one layer of ignorance away from understanding what is actually going on. No conspiracy needed BUT that doesn't mean that there hasn't been conspiracies (note: not conspiracy theories) for wage/cost fixing.

No, you seem to be one layer of ignorance away from understanding the economic reality, you are adding a layer of complexity to labor markets attempting to treat them differently from any other market. Has nothing to do with wealth at all....
- deprecative 3y agoIt has everything to do with wealth. Wealth is the basis of our economic systems. BTW, "no u" isn't a valid response. You can use it but nobody has any interest in continuing that discussion. Just like I no longer have any desire to converse with you regarding this. Have a good life.

- orwin 3y agoThis doesn't make any sense? Which capital do we talk about with the word 'capitalist'? Exactly. It's wealth. Capitalism is a system where the production is decided and owned by the capital owners. So, wealthy people. If bezos want a mega-yacht, a mega-yacht will be built.
