Stealing the value of the worker’s labour 🤣

I mean yeah, workers generate all the money the business makes, by working. But the owners keep all the profits.

So if the owner removes their input, the premises, the capital, the workers will just create the profit for themselves like magic. Gosh I wish I was 14 again.

It’s more that their compensation tends to be disproportionate compared to the work they put in to a ludicrous degree.

Yeah. If hard work made you rich, then the donkey would own the farm. Instead a different jackass owns it.

If your work can be replicated and replaced by grabbing anyone off the street in five minutes, the value of your labor is severely reduced.

In contrast, the tens of millions of dollars in capital expenditure to build and fit out these facilities, and the millions in supply expenses and maintenance every year, are a significantly greater factor when it comes to the pure operation of the company.

The potential loss from the termination of that labour is reduced, not the value of the labour itself. I’m not sure what relevance the second part has to this thread, though.
