Re-reading your comment I think we actually have the same understanding of the dynamic, I think I misread "immortal" as "immoral" before which gave the comment a quite different vibe.

> "...in the political context the market is embedded in" is nonsense, especially when appealing to the "market sorting it out" in the next breath.

I meant:

complaining about (workers demanding higher wages instead of letting the market sort it out) is pointless

Not:

(complaining about workers demanding higher wages) instead of (letting the market sort it out) is pointless.

Agreed my wording could have been more precise there.
