Point me to anyone who has had a gun pointed at them to be forced to take a job and I will agree with you.


The parent comment never implied that anyone was forced to take a job at gun point. Why are you putting words into our mouths?

The parent comment implies that not everybody has a choice. This is true and this is not necessarily the same thing as being forced to take a job, much less at gun point.


> The parent comment implies that not everybody has a choice.

That's where we disagree I guess, I think you always have a choice unless force is being used against you (such as in rape, murder, armed theft etc).


You don't have a choice when every corporate in your city would try to lowball prospective employees belonging to a certain class into accepting a lower than market rate salary.


I'm not seeing anyone forcing anyone or removing choice from anyone in your argument.

This was your earlier comment. You were responding to another comment (not mine) where you were seeing someone was forced to take a job although nothing like that was implied in the parent comment.
