Isn't India such a place where you can bust your butt for that $5 over and over because there is not a safety net that will supply you with the needs to survive?

Doesn't OSHA also make sure that desperate individuals aren't required to unreasonably trade their safety for that extra $5 as they may need to work for an unlicensed employer that chooses to operate outside of legal business boundaries?

Isn't Uber a version of the $5 situation?

It's an interesting approach. The "needs to survive" are not very expensive.

Who does your maid hire to clean her house?
