People who violently assault others for taking jobs are unspeakably evil, and I have only contempt for those who admire or defend them.

The forced labor described in the article is unjustifiable. But China imprisoning populations solely for having a different religion and culture is worse than America imprisoning people for (at least mostly) real criminal convictions.

If a company did that, they'd be struck down for antitrust and abuse of power. That this is celebrated is a double standard.

Stealing from a restaurant is a criminal matter because you're taking (by force or concealing your actions) what doesn't belong to you. A restaurant not paying wages is a civil matter because they failed to fulfill their contractual obligations to pay you and are in debt. Arguing that taking money by force and not paying money are equivalent is comparing apples and oranges.

(It may be appropriate to criminalize failing to pay employees, but I'm not sure about the first and higher-order effects of doing so, or how to craft legal principles and laws with the right incentives, while avoiding special cases like the laundry list of exemptions to California's AB5.)

Is the decline in athletic performance from pre-transition to meeting the regulated testosterone levels greater or less than the gap in athletic performance between average cis men and women? Top-level cis men and women?
