>Well it's a shell game, right? On the one hand here's this huge valuation and future profit. On the other hand, the workers get just a small fraction of that value and still live in squalor.
I'm not seeing how this is a "shell game" in any meaningful sense. In contrast to the actual game[1], everyone knows and gets what they signed up for. There's no deception going on aside from a vague "but I thought corporations were supposed to give everyone a fair share (whatever that means) that idealists have".
>You don't pay people less because you have them by the short and curlies of their own poverty. That is exploitive. You pay them a fair share of the value they're producing.
