It’s funny how ANTI CAPITALIST that companies/conservaives get with worker wages.

I'm not a big capitalist myself, but: The “work” of an employee is their product they sell to the company they work for. That's what the worker is to them. A product.

They want capitalism for them, but not for the worker. They want to close and control that market for labor as much as they can.

This is just another reason why the system is fundamentally unfair.
