That is not the market forces lol. The unemployment bonus directly interferes with the market. Your pool of labor is directly limited BECAUSE of unemployment. If enhanced unemployment didn't exist, there wouor be substantially more qualified labor that would drive down the price.

Please don't tell me you're this slow?
That is absolutely a market force, otherwise it wouldn't be influencing the market. Its not a free market force. However, considering a truly free market has never existed in history, and considering economists seem to be concluding that they were wrong to hold Friedmann's perspectives on free markets with the religious reverence they enjoyed for the past 40 years as people's incomes have stagnated, a market force vs a free market force doesn't seem to be an important distinction.

Ultimately conservatives worship the free market. They want no minimum wage, no child labor laws, no worker safety laws, no unions, no healthcare benefits. The more the system is exposed to be paying people pretty shit wages overall for honest labor, the more they get angry and want to attack any system that reveals this.
Americans don't care about minimum wage, no child labor laws, no worker safety laws, no unions, no healthcare benefits when they are buying their outsourced products and services, they only care about how cheap they can get it, and the biggest hypocrites are those in positions of power that promote that behavior while identifying as liberal democrats and their useful idiots that lick their boots while crying about everything, conservative, republican or Trump.

He could have bought a very nice yacht made in America for 50 million and use the other 450 million to provide scholarships and educational help for minorities and the poor because that is what supposedly separates liberal democrats from those evil free market conservatives.

But buying those outsourced products have lifted billions out of poverty, exactly as liberals want to do.

I get the feeling you’ve never sat down and actually thought this through.

I don't recall that poster ever offering anything relevant a topic. I get the feeling the only thing going on in their head is that America sucks and Democrats are the problem.

I have an honest question. Why did the Republicans after the 1964 Civil Rights Act started supporting religiously conservative views? Why did they not choose something else?

Because it isn't a true reflection of the market - as you stated. So don't be someone stupid that cites what folks are currently paid during a ln unemployment bananza and say that is the market rate. You have to be a complete moron to suggest such.

The government already manipulates the market for companies by paying their minimum wage workers food stamps and/or healthcare. Why is this way worse?
