History has already shown that the free market will reduce wages to the point of slavery and destitution. Minimum wage laws are very important to counter the psychopathic greed of many company management.
Labor isn't just another good, it is actual human beings whose wages greatly affect their quality of life.
Your rant about in-groups is odd.

- TheOtherHobbes 1y agoThe predictable end game of unregulated free markets is the opposite of freedom for 99.99% of the population. There's a curious authoritarian tinge to these "free market" argument. "Free markets are powerful, therefore if I support free markets I am a powerful insider." It usually takes an encounter with a major economic reverse - like being bankrupted by healthcare - for proponents to realise that the free market doesn't care about them either, no matter what they believe.
