If I can be less productive at work and get paid to cry, then that’s a double win on the capitalists

You could just not be productive without the crying. With the crying it just makes it sound like capitalism is beating you to do your job and you just keep doing it.

Hardly a win lol

But they get you to cry on their terms. How much is agency worth as a human being - more or less than the hourly wage?

On their terms? The capitalists don’t want you to cry while you’re supposed to be working. Crying on their terms would be crying outside of work.

Yet capitalism is ingrained enough for you to think that’s the best option, instead of what you need / want it’s whatever that makes you the most money. So it’s a win for capitalism in the sense that you are the capitalist first, and human second.
