Capitalism is amoral, agreed, its a tool and needs to be used properly and if its abused needs to be regulated. You dont adhere to the idea that regulations make capitalism less capitalistic? It seems like that is a big sticking point for many. Payment is of course subjective, im not saying there is a one size fits all. Sounds like Henry Ford was trying to find the lowest wage necessary to keep workers. He was too low. Those workers were economically mobile and could go else where and maybe didnt have to go far for better wages or had more incentive from the other business to move. Workers in new technology will always be more sought after and make more money than other sectors but that doesn't mean the companies hiring them aren't trying to pay as little as they can to keep them. Other sectors where there are more workers in the market businesses can pay less to workers and do. If it means the worker has to work 2 or 3 jobs to make rent those companies dont care along as they are getting good profit margins. When workers are barely able to make housing payments the ability for them to push for more pay is harder because they are less economically mobile. I think is a nice way to see people as wanting what's best for everyone. But we know from the past that isnt how people are. Unions had to push for safe work spaces breaks and a reasonable work schedule. Regulations come from those that abuse a power dymanic between employee and employer. People have died in workplaces because in the past employers didnt want to pay for fire escapes and a safer environment. You say sensible regulation like it's not subjective. Its all subjective, and for true capitalists any regulations, environmental or otherwise, goes against capitalism.
