[QUOTE="JL 0513, post: 2610848, member: 50088"] I say that because people's labor is being exploited because the net outcome benefits the business. No, it benefits both parties just like a sale. I buy a car which makes my modern life possible. Hugely beneficial to me. Did the automaker and dealer exploit me for making money necessarily? Of course not. Without making a margin on the sale, neither the automaker or dealer would exist, thus I don't have a car to live my life. This is the same process for everything. Therefore, you take everything away and you live in a cave and hunt for your meal each day. Point is, things don't progress without personal benefit (profit, pay, etc.). Why was the iPhone invented? For Apple to make money. If no money was to be made, would they have spent billions to create it? This is basic stuff folks. I can't believe people don't get the fundamentals on why we enjoy our modern lives. [/QUOTE]
