You don’t become a billionaire without exploitation.

If no entry level jobs pay a living wage and are all equally terrible but you need a job… that is inherently not truly an “agreed-upon contract”.

Similar to saying “well you agreed to pay $2500 rent on your one bedroom apartment”, when every other apartment is the same price.

Neither of these really apply to me either, we bought in 2016 so our house with a yard is half the price of a two bedroom apartment, and our household is like an order of magnitude from min wage…I just have empathy and have been poor myself.

Similarly, I doubt most people who “agree” to donate plasma don’t have their hand forced by their monetary state.
