I am not criticizing them, I’m just out of the loop.

    Do you think the people who built these platforms are teens?

    I don’t know who created this platform, but I doubt they’re teens. The vast majority of users are young.

    Marxist through and through.

    Please educate yourself then. Marxism has only resulted in death and destruction. It has put countries back hundreds of years and have killed hundreds of millions of people.

    Just because workers unions of the past were overturned by tyrants and capitalists alike

    I’m pro union, and capitalist. Capitalism isn’t anti-union. Once again, please educate yourself. Advocating for marxism is 100x worse than advocating for nazism.

    The system in which I am forced to participate in is fundamentally flawed.

    Please move to a communist country and see what you’re forced to do.

    The only reason you’re an engineer is because you were allowed that choice. Under communism you would likely have been killed simply for being college educated.

      Free market corporate capitalism as practiced in the West is absolutely anti-union. If you have another model to point to, feel free.

        That’s not capitalism, that’s government not doing their job.

        Biden forced the railway workers to keep working despite the strike. Is that due to capitalism?

            Absolutely it’s due to capitalism

            That’s your government not doing their job. And actively working against the workers.

            Blame big government that forces people to work at a non negotiated price, not capitalism.

                Capitlism is about the ability of selling your services to a willing party. It always has been, and always will.

                If I want to stack boxes for $2 an hour, I have that right. If I want to stack boxes for $200 I have the right to make that right. Everyone has the ability to accept my offer, or deny it. Capitalism, baby.

                    There is no country in this world where workers all get to negotiate their pay.

                    In the U.S. for the most part people are able to. Except in situations where the government forces a floor. So we’re damn close, every individual can choose to work for X amount of pay or not. Once again, except in cases where the government forces a minimum.
