    In capitalism’s own logic, it should be the exact opposite.

    In capitalisms own rhetoric, yeah. In capitalism’s actual logic, people who own things decide the rules, which means it’s pretty inevitable that people who want to get paid as much as possible for as little work as possible (“passive income,” etc.) would produce a system like this.

    If you gave the people who are the foundation of your business some level of security or even comfort by paying them well, it suddenly becomes a lot harder to pressure them into working overtime and through breaks when they don’t even need to work full-time to begin with!
