    Preach! I hate all this bullcrap about the ‘free market’ and the ‘invisible hand’.

    Sure, letting employers and employees have freedom for what they want is nice, but not everyone knows how much they’re really worth. Thats exactly why some people keep getting jobs with lower pay and employers keep getting away with it!

    Its like we’re letting ourselves get scammed and somehow thats supposed to be fine

      Why do we keep focusing on stopping scammers instead of teaching people about scams? I think it’s important for everyone to know their true worth, but just banning scams doesn’t solve much. On the other hand, if people can recognize scams, they won’t fall for them.

        It’s a lot harder to teach people en masse than stop “scammers”. Also, the “scammers” you’re describing are capitalists acting legally. You think that education alone will stop predatory market practices? That’s incredibly naive.

        There’s no reason we can’t do both.
