      We don’t live in a free market when business cartels can fix wages.

      This is labor competing back with the same methods that capital uses.

      Cry harder.

              Do you always ignore what is inconvenient to you?

              We don’t live in a free market. It’s a conservative fantasy. Grow up sometime.

              When you start bitching about corporations lobbying the government to keep wages down maybe I’ll take you seriously.

              Unions are aggressively suppressed by employers both via illegal tactics and lobbying the state for anti union laws.

                  Because your created narrow context for your argument that doesn’t make much logical sense when you look at how system operates as a whole.

                  Picking good places for conservative arguements while ignoring big picture is a bad faith actor behavior.

      It’s mandated by law because the corporations are too large to care to do it themselves and have to be told.

      They’re just worried about making more money this quarter than last quarter. Under that reality, a law becomes necessary. Corporations have clearly shown they won’t pay their workers a decent wage when they don’t have to.
