    I’m not sure what you mean, I don’t think an immigrant making minimum wage is exploitative on the immigrant side, if that is what you mean. I believe the exploitation is of immigrants/lower class from big companies by paying them America’s absurdly low minimum wage.

    The service is alright I guess, if the person doing the work for you gets a living wage. But I’m not sure I understand you.

      Life doesn’t end on America.

      These companies do what they’re legally allowed to do. Considering most of them barely scrapes off a profit, you can’t expect them to pay more out of the goodness of their hearts. I mean, not unless you’re a hopelessly optimistic teenager.

      In other countries these people tend to make a pretty good buck (still minimum wage, but in many countries that allows for a reasonably comfortable living).
