I am not criticizing them, I’m just out of the loop.

      There is no country in this world where workers all get to negotiate their pay.

      In the U.S. for the most part people are able to. Except in situations where the government forces a floor. So we’re damn close, every individual can choose to work for X amount of pay or not. Once again, except in cases where the government forces a minimum.

        That is absolute and utter bullshit. That may be true for whatever industry you’re in, but do you really think fast food workers get to choose their pay? Waiters? Construction workers? Uber Drivers? Hell, I work a decent office job and my salary wasn’t negotiable. Neither was my salary in my past few jobs, all of which were good jobs.
