Seems like a strawman, I can think of plenty of reasons people want to control others' time. It's the literal job of every CEO for starters.

What happened to Liberty?

The CEO is not controlling their time, he's buying it and they're selling it.

What other reasons do you have?

> I can think of plenty of reasons people want to control others' time

So can I

- They want to control people like property - They want to impose their views and values - They don't want any competition - They have a power trip - They want to use others time for their own benefit

What else am I missing?
