Your analogy seems to be comparing the employee/employer relationship to a marriage rather than a family. If the employer is the parents of the family (more power/control/etc.) and the employees are children... Anyways, using

So, did/does the vehicle in the desert start with a push (from a force other than the wind) or did it really get started moving by the wind pushing it? Edit: FYI in the video he does sort of cover his claim even if it got started by a
