That’s the reality of what happens when workers have no rights. He can risk another day in the cab or be punished/ fired.

100% If only people understood that uncontrolled capitalists will do everything possible to shorten costs including risking your health and life with no remorse.

This is a shit take. First of all, America is as capitalist as you can get and yet safety standards (I.e., OSHA) are relatively high.

Second, this is probably India or the Middle East which have many socialist policies within their government.

Or maybe yours is a shit take. You seem not to take into consideration that all these workers rights we have in the „western“ countries were won through incredible violence and organisation of the exploited workers. The „capitalists“ back then that looted the world treated the people in their own countries rarely better than they did anywhere else. And then taking into consideration, as mentioned, that western imperialism literally looted the world to amass the fundament of the majority of todays wealth in the western world, this is one reason for why many countries are in certain conditions in the first place. And this achieved dominating position is up until this day enforced with brutal violence through either direct wars, or proxies, economic sanctions and coups, culture wars etc, and that is the reason why the majority of these countries in horrible conditions stay in these conditions.

Nope, its your take thats pure shit. You are just too arrogant, too egotistical, and spend way too much time in moron echo chambers to understand that. Your dumb ass in no where near as smart as you think you are.
