  1. No. And by the brilliance of that concise explanation surely by now you're convinced. Allow me to rephrase. Um.... nO. Look I'm in general very supportive of business but if you think workers are something that can be screwed around with I don't know what to tell you. You're just wrong. I don't know if you're independently wealthy or if you own your own business but God damn we're all workers out here! These aren't robots you're talking about. These are our lives. Jesus man. FUCK free market nonsense. Labor always comes first! WE DO THE WORK!!!! That includes the thinking and the elbow grease. The c-suite doesn't do shit! Why do you support shareholders and not the people who do the work!? I'm honestly curious. I mean were you born into wealth because your attitude seems to indicate a disconnect from having to work for a living. Labor should be first and foremost. Without it we all suffer- the only people who profit is a narrow elite class of moneysuckers. Of course businesses need to make a profit but you're acting like businesses can't profit unless they have their own slaves? Analyze yourself.

  2. You forget that workers are human beings, and as such, deserve the (almost) full return of their labor. You are denying workers their justice by this kind of attitude. You must come from wealth. Otherwise why would you default to this attitude that justifies worker use and abuse? You can't justify soft slavery! Do you want to be a good person or not? Would you want to run a business that used to child labor? Exploited labor? If so you're not a good person. You seem to forget that workers are human fkg beings like you and me. I am a WORKER. I AM ALSO A HUMAN BEING WITH RIGHTS. People that default your attitude to seem to not understand this. Why? Don't you want to do right by your fellow citizens? Wouldn't you feel better if you knew that everyone was getting their fair share??

  3. I mean technically, the slaveowners were job creators too, but I wouldn't call those jobs they created very desirable. I don't think that the workers forced to work in these jobs felt very blessed by the creation of such. So simply calling someone a job creator alone to me it says nothing and shouldn't be seen as a positive. What KIND of a job are they creating?, should be the more germaine question.

  4. I mean what good is a job creator if the jobs they're creating are shit jobs? Without strong labor protections, high minimum wages, layoff protection, guaranteed profit shares, protected unionization, forced collective bargaining rights and more, what good is that "job"?? If it's a job that comes with good wages and benefits in a relatively non-toxic environment then that's great. But how many jobs does that description actually apply to anymore today???? A rapidly vanishing number.
