  Rubbish. It's nobody's responsibility to pay low-skilled humans higher than market rates in an over-saturated market. As long as labour transactions occur are transparent, free and mutually consenting, why is it your right to force buyers to pay more than the price available sellers are willing to settle for? Potato sellers don't get to force you to buy their goods for $10 a kilo just because they don't like it that their competitors are happy with $2. Labour is a commodity like any other, despite the ridiculous emotionalisation of the market.
