I’m just impressed that your daughter understands and uses the concept of labour exploitation
It's a topic we discuss regularly at home. She's heard us talk about how much we hate being employees, having our time controlled, asking bosses for permission, and not getting paid adequately. My husband and I have been through it before, and that's why we decided to become independent entrepreneurs. It's difficult, but it's about trading one problem for another: dealing with uncertainty and being somewhat free or enslaving ourselves for a "secure" salary. Given our status as migrants, some people sometimes take advantage of this and pay less than usual, or fire you after 30 days and don't pay you. So yes, it's a topic we talk about a lot. She asks because she's curious, and we explain.
