Your hard work is way more rewarding to your masters than to you, though.

We're all slaves man.
Yeah I get the sarcasm, but I really don't understand people who accept capitalism and also accept that their hard work is worth more than what they receive in compensation. Like, shouldn't they be upset and trying to find a way to twist the system for their benefit, just like the people using them?
I don't think most people have the mental bandwidth to balance rotting away in an 8 hour job, managing family life, and having some semblance of self esteem just to add on how to escape. I think the pressure release of the weekend is the only satisfaction people can afford due to the momentum of work completely eroding their concept of life.
There are plenty of people who do though I imagine.

Capitalism isn’t about value of work: you aren’t paid for what you deliver. Free markets are about supply and demand: is someone else willing to deliver the same value for a lower cost. We are all consumers behaving like this, looking for the best deals on products. Don’t expect employers to behave differently.
