> Companies aren't doing anything unusual or evil.

You literally just described an evil behavior. It's obviously not evil when you're shopping for gadgets, but if you think that's morally comparable to the livelihoods of human beings, I'm sorry to inform you that you're a psychopath.

> This is literally just how a market works. A lot of people forget that the job market is a market.

You say that like you think it's a law of physics. Markets don't exist in nature. Markets are a conscious, deliberate creation by humans.

> Or they wish it wasn't a market

Correct! We've unambiguously determined that applying market logic to people's livelihoods is inhumane and immoral. There shouldn't be a market for being allowed to live. It should just be guaranteed to everybody.
