>We were talking about solidarity vs charity, and you think market?

Until you said everyone should be treated as equals.
Then I said I just wanted to be treated fairly. Just give me what I deserve. I don't deserve a million dollars just becuase John Down the street make a million dollars.

BTW: Charity was something you brought in later.


>I cut that out because, for me, the market value of your labor force has nothing to do with either solidarity or charity.

It does if you're talking about treating people fairly.

>No wonder there's something called "charity industry". There's probably a charity market as well.

I don't know what you mean here, but there are quite a few chariable orgranizations.

>>>Exactly - the system takes care that there's always some unemployment. Actually, the more, the better.

>>There will always be unemployment, because there are those that think they don't need to work. That's not the only reason, but one of the reason.

>Nice excuse. The real reason is that whenever unemployment was sufficiently low, the salaries rose, hence the production costs rose. There's nothing better for reducing those costs but keeping workers in competition against their unemployed colleagues. That's the predominant economic school of thought here, and that's the system.

We're at under 5% unemployment. This should make you at least a little happier. :)
