    We don’t live in a free market when business cartels can fix wages.

    This is labor competing back with the same methods that capital uses.

    Cry harder.

            Unions are aggressively suppressed by employers both via illegal tactics and lobbying the state for anti union laws.

            I am sure you know these facts… By we don’t see you crying over it unlike peasant win wage lol

                Because your created narrow context for your argument that doesn’t make much logical sense when you look at how system operates as a whole.

                Picking good places for conservative arguements while ignoring big picture is a bad faith actor behavior.

                    The wages in a free market would be determined by supply and demand without government collusion

                    BTW collusion requires two parties… Who is the government “collude” with more in the US

                    Asking for a friend.

                    Just because you don’t understand something or refuse to do so, doesn’t make it “who knows what”

            Do you always ignore what is inconvenient to you?

            We don’t live in a free market. It’s a conservative fantasy. Grow up sometime.

            When you start bitching about corporations lobbying the government to keep wages down maybe I’ll take you seriously.
