Also i dont think hes respected as a critical thinker. He just has an internet following.
Unless the context of that quote is "... ergo most employers don't exploit their workers."

Or you can give the job to the lowest bidder (who is typically someone in a desperate enough position to be willing to take a low offer because it's better than nothing) to cut costs.

Both models are widely used.

It wasnt, you can pretty much take that at face value. It was just one line of rambling from a moron doing a terrible job at making a point. Dude talks about critical thinking and rambles off some of the most unnuanced ish ive ever heard.

It's meant to be taken at face value, but it's also being used to prove a larger point? Which point would that be?
