Wage theft as only “not paid what was owed according to current law” is already the biggest form of theft and the least prosecuted.

Please don’t help perpetuate capitalist exploitation by blurring it with the “value theft” inherent to capitalism

  I think I deserve more, but I accept less anyway, due to the ever present threat of unrecoverable retribution against myself and my family if I negotiate too hard

    I’m glad to hear that you don’t have a family, a pet, or other unit that you need to support other than yourself, and do not have an illness that requires medical insurance in a country that requirrs it for care, that a capitalist cannot exploit.

    I’m actually quite successful, but it was pure luck. My professional rivals keep disappearing under mysterious circumstances. (This is obvious satire.)
