What is rich people collaborating called? You might claim that it is incompatible with capitalism but it’s just a fact of it. It’s easier for a small number of resourceful people (and capital gives them resources) to collaborate than for many people with not much more resources than their house/mortgage. This is what Adam Smith told us anyway.

It is also illegal.

Simply assuming that "every employer does it because theoretically it is easier for then to do so" to help your argument is rather self-serving, considering that labour unions are explicitly legal and exist.

It’s not theoretical.

Cynicism is such a waste of time when you haven't done the thing you're cynical about and have no first-hand experience.

You think you're thinking about reality.

All you're doing is imagining reality. You're living in a fantasy.

Rich people collude all the time. They buy political power with money. It’s so out in the open that I’m not going to post a whole diatribe on it.

It’s news to me that what Adam Smith wrote about in that book was theoretical. Oh well.
