    This isn’t the free market when it’s mandated by law. The wages in a free market would be determined by supply and demand without government collusion

      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.

        Isn’t about labor at all. It’s about the government setting wages.

        Lots of people lost their jobs or hours. It’s weird you like to see them suffer by incompetent government action.

            Do you always talk in circles ? My statement is accurate. It isn’t free market when the government is mandating.

            Unions are free market.

            Now why you want the workers to cry harder is a weird response. Lots of people lost their jobs over this and you celebrate. Typical liberal.

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

              I am sure you know these facts… By we don’t see you crying over it unlike peasant win wage lol

                  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.

                    I replied to a comment. You replied to who knows what as it had nothing to do with what I said. Maybe you should try responding to what the person said

              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.

                I never made the claim that we lived in a free market. Do you always make things up?

                I responded to the statement that this was a free market and pointed out that we are not a free market .
