When making an honest living is restricted
Rest assured, predatory business practices are alive and well. Just over a year ago, one of the two daily newspapers that keep the local population informed went through a winter of discontent. The owners, unhappy about the covenant made with their employees, locked the doors and told everybody to stay home until less money for longer hours was acceptable. The advertisers didn’t show much solidarity with those apt to be their customers, and things dragged on for a very long time. Nobody won (unless you count the shareholders).
