    If he owns vehicles, then he is entitled to exploit people to drive them.

    The system has conditioned him to find a way to rationalize that he is victim.

      He’s entitled to do whatever he wants with his vehicles. That doesn’t mean it’s a good business decision, he’s not entitled to succeed.

        Well, among good business decisions is exploiting workers. In fact, historically, it is the very best kind.

          Considering the person in OPs story can’t even find employees willing to work under the offered conditions, id argue it’s difficult to exploit a staff of zero.

            as one CEO put it so nicely, “we need to increase unemployment, so the people learn their place”

            The observation that workers are exploited is one that is remarkably plain and simple.

            Exploiting workers is entirely the purpose of private business.

            If you are most interested in deflecting with labels that you think are derisive, but undoubtedly understand quite poorly, then your comments are not well suited for the community.
