There are plenty of people who find themselves in desperate enough situations to be taken advantage of in such a way. It is for that reason that things like social welfare and employment regulation exist today.

That’s an incredibly privileged point of view, with all due respect.

I worked in a plastic factory in a small rural town that always struggled to find workers. People will refuse work and prefer poverty for a lot less than 14-7 working conditions. Lacking air conditioning is enough.

With all due respect, so is equivocating having to sit in the car for an hour with the desperation of choosing between starving and a long work week

Not sure where I even remotely did that? The comment above was my only contribution to this thread. It’s an isolated reply to the comment I replied to

You didnt. I was making an additional contribution which related to yours and the parent post.

Both are extremely privileged and ignorant positions.

That nobody would work 70 hour weeks, and that going into an office is a comparable struggle.

And 14 year olds would never work in mines.
