How is it not a lack of freedom? Lack of time and lack of mobility due to obligation is quite literally a lack of freedom

Because they’re not a machine?

The problem is not being compensated for time spent in service of the job. People aren’t machines, they need to consume energy to do the work. They should be compensated for time spent doing that. It’s human maintenance, if you want to look that way.

You can’t teleport anywhere to do whatever the fuck you want. 30 minutes is no time at all especially if you need to pick up food before eating it. That’s not free time.

How is being paid to eat to get through a shift like being paid to sleep?

What will they want next, healthcare? Fair wages? Human dignity?!

The employee needs to eat to perform the labor. I’d say that’s directly related to the value they’re creating, which is always more than they’re actually paid anyway.
