Buddy is simping for corporations your hobby?

low income service sector workers

This is you saying there's a "shortage" of people willing to work for unlivable wages and then explaining that's what makes "prison labor" AKA slave labor incredibly popular.

We get it bud. Corporations love human slaves. This comes as a surprise to nobody. You talking about it like this is a problem with workers instead of the horrifying reality of corporate greed is just gross.

There is no shortage of people willing to do any kind of work for good wages. What we have way too much of are greedy billionaires and corporations.

The work has value that far exceeds the wages being paid
