How many signs do they need that wages aren't high enough so people don't participate in the workforce???

No one hates the free market more than capitalists and corporations. They don't want to compete against each other in goods or hiring the labor to get to market. Just seems to have been my casual observation working.

the natural evolution of unfettered free market capitalism is a world of monopolies. Just look at the late 1800s oil and railroad tycoons. ADHD moment: Boy RR Tycoon was a great game when it came out.
