Why can’t other interests, such as labour interests, also bait-and-switch?

Why can’t other interests, such as labour interests, also bait-and-switch?
- immibis 2y agoThey CAN, but capital interests ARE. Speculation: labour interests care about making enough money to get by, while capital interests care about making maximum money and are therefore insatiable.
- Gud 2y agoWhat makes you think most labour are interested in “getting by”? In my experience, they aren’t.
- immibis 2y agoHow often do you ask your boss for a raise or go job hunting? 1. When your money's running low or your job feels shitty, or 2. Constantly whenever you think you can get a raise or a better job
- Gud 2y agoI don’t see how that is relevant? Switching job is a fairly painful process. Doesn’t mean I’m not in it for the money.
- crabmusket 2y agoHere's my conjecture: doing so is not in the interests of labour. So to the extent that labour has power, it would tend to act differently.
