Agreed. And with today's huge population, the supply is so huge that it depresses everybody's wages. The internet only makes it worse with how easy it is to apply to hundreds of jobs.
The end result is that the average person has no control over wages.
And that's you, which is great. But most places aren't like that and instead control it under threat of termination.
I think we have a difference of opinion over what constitutes control.

You can't have negotiation without leverage, and you can't have leverage when the market is oversupplied.
This is pretty much the same issue as above. So I'll move on.
You might not want our country to be democratic, but the vast majority of people do.
A democracy is the way in which the social contract is maintained. The alternative is the wolves just slaughtering the lambs. In reality, there are 10 lambs for every one wolf.
That's because today's corporations are bloated. If everything was small to medium business it wouldn't be a problem.
I'm talking about the percentage cut of what each person gets, and how CEOs get overpaid.

As somebody who works in tech, I can tell you the answer is likely just that they send our so many emails that it trigger's your email host's spam filters. It's often a case of quantity instead of content. Either that or a really stupid bug. The whole field of tech is littered with them.
