Then why is it that the man on the top who does so little is rewarded almost 20 times the average man?
No person should be able to profit off the backs of thousands to that degree.

they cannot threaten that.
You don't get it.
You need a job to live.
As long as it remains that way you are fodder to companies
something to consume, burn out, and if rejects you or tastes bad, then thrown into the trash.
Because as I said before, the difference is time and the amount people earn. And that will always be unequal in some way. Even in economic backgrounds that isn’t capitalism.
And yes they can. Those are called lockouts. That costs huge money to companies.
No, I do get it. Minimum wages, believe it or not, are a large part of the reason why homelessness is a thing, because they cannot find jobs that would make them money, as the companies would not be able to pay them, at their current level of workforce.
At the same time, if people are paid too low, they can also keep the job, reduce their spendings in some way and search for something better. That will be at the loss of the company abusing them, simply put.
And I don’t know about you, but if the amount of money isn’t adequate in some way to how much I pay, I either make a sacrifice to reduce spending, or I just don’t accept the work offering.
For everyone to have an acceptable living conditions would be great, don’t get me wrong. But it requires drastic measures that aren’t that easy to implement. Raising the minimum wage for example, would actually make things worse. Especially during this pandemic.

If you don't want to work for anybody, start a business and work for yourself - banks will happily fund a good business plan, they're in the profession of burning money on upstarts. Just keep in mind that the failure rate is 90% or so, so if you're not smart, productive and diligent, this "easy life" might be too hard for you. That said, where there's risk, there's rewards. In any case, it's been a page or two of econ talk now, I hope everyone got everything out of their systems, because it's about time to get back to Biden. On-topic, fellas.
Exactly, thank you for that.
