Here's the nice thing about it: they are! If they don't work (for any of the equally exploitative companies in their country) they die.

They are being coerced to participate in the capitalist system, maybe. Not to be a “chatter”.

No argument against protections, though.

And yet lots of people don't work for companies and still manage not to die. I wonder how they do it? A mystery, I guess.
