    That wouldn’t be sustainable. You would whither away, and get sick and that’s not even considering other basic expenses for things like clothing and personal hygiene, let alone healthcare. Sooner or later that employee will have to drop out. Anyone accepting to work like this must be desperate enough that anything past short term future isn’t even considered. And yet these people exist.

    And hence the point I was trying to make that everyone seems to be missing here given the amount of downvotes. The mind-blowing fact that there are still people willing to work these jobs despite reason shows how badly we can’t rely on self regulation. This level of exploitation is downright slavery.
