    If he owns vehicles, then he is entitled to exploit people to drive them.

    The system has conditioned him to find a way to rationalize that he is victim.

      He’s entitled to do whatever he wants with his vehicles. That doesn’t mean it’s a good business decision, he’s not entitled to succeed.

          Considering the person in OPs story can’t even find employees willing to work under the offered conditions, id argue it’s difficult to exploit a staff of zero.

            The observation that workers are exploited is one that is remarkably plain and simple for anyone to make.

            Exploiting workers is entirely the purpose of private business.
