Ever worked for a boss?
Of course, silly. I even quit a lucrative gig when one was misbehaving and using said boot
You quit because the boot was real
No, because the boot's owner showed themselves to have shitty values.
...and it proves the point: the state's boot is violent and unavoidable; the bosses' "boot" is mutual and contractual, easy to end on a moment's notice
I mean, a better or worse boss doesn't create the boot, it just shows it. The boot is the relationship, not the person, some are great, honestly. but dodging it is easy with a safety net, without one... your hope is the nearest bridge
do you think anyone owes you money? when you work for someone they have the right to set some standards for that work, just as you have a right to walk away. the fact that employers have standards doesn't make the relationship slavery
They don't owe me money, but when I need the job to eat, they own me
As an Icelandic welfare claimant your boss is the nation state.
Stop biting the kind hand that feeds you.
BTW Friedman was an absolute idiot- a proven idiot- his ideology destroyed the wests industrial capacity and handed victory over to China and its state capitalist- free markets hybrid mixed economy.
the bosses' boots aren't boots.
