Governments love it just as much. They’re the ones putting those conditions on backpacker visas, they’re turning a blind eye to known exploitation of student visas, they’re the ones allowing huge influxes of people (legally and illegally) without doing anything about the infrastructure needed to support them.

Stop blaming everything on corporations - corporations are a figment of statism. They would not exist in their current form without massive governments.

These people are being exploited because it uplifts everyone else’s quality of life. It’s that simple.

Whether you’re a self-proclaimed socialist living in a million dollar+ house or a right-wing businessman made wealthy off cheap labour - both sides are benefitting from this and will shit themselves if/when the gravy train ever stops.

The fact that every high government position is filled with a rotating schedule of corporate elites… that every senator and representative becomes a multimillionaire within a few years of serving… that there are 6000 lobbyists registered in Washington who serve corporate interests…that government bailouts without fail go to private banking, insurance, or real estate interests, and that the central bank itself is a collection of probate banks…should remind us all that government has been subordinated to the interests of private corporations.
