Exploit has multiple meanings, exploiting a resource and exploiting someone in an underhand or unfair way do have the same phrase to explain them. But exploiting a resource is obviously much different than treating workers unfairly.

Verbs and nouns typically have different meanings for the same word, maybe time for an English refresher.

since you clearly went to a dictionary, you can see none of the definitions even mention "force".

I'm using it correctly. don't be condescending. you might think it's a fair exploitation, but it's exploitation nonetheless.

Not your decision it make. Hazard pay exists for a reason, many people view that as exploitation as well. Doesn’t make it so, sorry.

Words have different meanings, and you missed the mark thinking it was like mining.

you missed the mark

oh, I think I hit something.

calling me names doesn't change whether I'm right

[-] federatingIsTooHard@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

by the barest definition, it is exploitation.

[-] federatingIsTooHard@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

mounds and greens have nothing to do with this. we are only using the transitive verb here.

[-] schmidtster@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

And if they are paid fairly it’s not exploitation anymore. That’s their decision to make, not yours.

[-] federatingIsTooHard@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago

pay isn't part of the definition of exploitation, either
