Glad you brought that up. The US Dollar hasn’t meant anything since coming off the gold standard, and we can’t control it’s value so long as the Federal Reserve controls interest rates, and the government has a monopoly over what currencies we can and can’t use. (No this isn’t advocation for company script, if you can’t spend it anywhere else it’s not currency)
With actual competition between companies, the laborer could actually compete for the best jobs and get the best compensation for their labor.
Regulations can also be lobbied by the businesses themselves, especially when they can afford to implement the changes required and their competition cannot. It’s what happened in the auto industry here in the US. Safety regulations that were naturally progressing were instead legislated and over the last century, we went from many manufacturers down to 3. The quality of product was vastly decreased and you hardly see anyone driving those shit buckets from the late 70s through the 80s when there was no competition.
They should just lord over the true value whilst paying peanuts to the workers? Cause that’s where we’re at already.

Capitalism will NEVER allow free competition, nor for the workers to be paid their true value.
So long as government meddles in it, yes you are correct.
🙄 regulations are the only thing that slow the unfettered greed built into the system.
Ya’ll have some weird and completely incorrect fantasies.

That’s not fantasy. It’s a fucking nightmare.
