Cool! So, you're a smart guy, what do you think will really happen if companies are given the choice to pay employees anything they want, including nothing. I graduated with a shitty major and I worked for free. I volunteered at a lab, to help get me some experience. I could've been doing something else, but hey, I couldn't get a job! But now that I have a skill, and that skill is in demand... I'm imagining that I would just up and leave if I was told I wasn't going to get paid anything. I would expect that people would just leave their jobs. Companies would learn that they can grab great quality employees if they pay them with profits. It's not as complicated as you think, and I have no idea why you're trying to pin the absurd situation of people starving while toiling away on this policy. There are already lots of opportunities for people to work for free (volunteer groups, church organizations) yet we don't have people mindlessly working themselves to death.
