And your disagreement was justified on the assertion that "undocumented immigrants seem willing to work in horrible conditions at minimum wage" which, again, isn't actually disputing what I said about the non-optional nature of labor force participation being a perverse incentive that drives wages down.
In the case of undocumented immigrants the perverse incentive is the fact they can't report wage theft or unsafe working conditions without the risk of getting deported. Has fuck all to do with people enjoying exploitative labor.
Sure, Jan. Nothing about your ideology is progressive, as evidenced by the "Well maybe some people just prefer being exploited" nonsense that was tossed out as a response to UBI of all things.People don't always fit into boxes. I'm still very much a progressive. Acknowledging reality doesn't make someone not a progressive.
