    Pretty interesting way to spell out the fact that that the economy is designed to extract as much value from workers as possible.

      Ding ding ding!

      If a company can extract more value out of its workers while paying them less, that means the company is doing good. If this happens across a bunch of companies, that means the economy is doing good. All because they’re getting more value from our labor than the crumbs they toss to us.
