Good luck trying to convince anyone, then. That's an extreme ideological position, not a reasonable evidence-based one.

The ideological approach is to hand wave and cite market fundamentalism when confronted with a real world allegation.

The evidence based approach is to look at the credibility and history of the accused party.

Emphatically no. The evidence-based approach is to look at current evidence, and you've provided zero.

Past credibility/history is irrelevant. Just because someone went to jail 20 years ago for a theft in a town, we don't throw them back in jail every time there's a new theft, and then demand they prove they are innocent. But that's what you seem to be asking for. However, that is wrong and unjust.

		What makes you think there isn’t any evidence? What do you think “evidence” actually is? The article contains numerous first person accounts with quotes from named people talking about working conditions they experienced, complaining that they are overworked and underpaid. The post I am responding to is by someone who has no direct experience whatsoever citing a broad ideological concept as evidence that it isn’t happening because, in general, they believe the situation being described is impossible.
