You said:

Yes but one of the primary ways corporations are making money these days is by not hiring enough workers and not paying current workers 3x the salary even though they're expected to do the work of 3 people.

Why would you say "these days" when that has always been the case, except for a short period from 1940 to 1980?

[-] Chetzemoka@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago

Because there was a short time where that wasn't happening, which proves that it's possible. I can amend my statement to "these days just like they did back in the gilded age" if that helps somehow?

I guess, but usually "these days" doesn't include last century (80s and 90s).

You're splitting some seriously irrelevant hairs
