        I mean yeah of course. That’s exactly how it works. And here in the South good luck with having a good union.

        Thankfully, a totally normal part of my trade is self-employment.

        Oh FFS, don’t be silly. They’re fucking us exactly because it does make sense on paper. They don’t have these cruel, fascist notions. They simply don’t care as long as Excel tells them they’re coming out ahead.

          That’s a very homo economicus view that’s fallen out of favor since the 1990s. Firms make deeply irrational and damaging decisions based on the irrational notions of the decision-makers. As long as those irrational notions are not sufficiently damaging to sink the business in competition with other businesses, they can persist indefinitely.
