Businesses can’t make a profit without exploiting their workers.

Literally false, even using your absurd definition of "exploit". If workers were an overall source of profit, businesses would never downsize--by your logic, since every worker creates more value than they're getting paid, laying anyone off would be equivalent to throwing money down the toilet.

But in the real world, downsizing happens all the time. And in the real world, labor is a cost, not a source of profit.

You can really tell when someone has no experience running a business. I'd love to see you try to open and run a small restaurant for longer than a year with this mindset, lmao.
