@jk yes! it should be pointed out that regulation of business practices can do much to mitigate this problem and because of that it is worse in some countries than in others (as a european, trying to book an airbnb or going to a grocery store in the US is a soul crushing experience). but you are right in principle and perhaps we should go beyond just regulation... guaranteed sick leave and similar things can truly transform how people think and what they expect from businesses and each other.
