No silly, we call this capitalism. This is how it differs from slavery:
Where a ruling class with all the money and might controls the vast majority and extorts labour out of them for the privilege to not starve and get wet in the rain. Occasional pain and constant suffering are just byproducts.
No wait…never mind.
