Oops, accidentally pressed send on that last one... to conclude...

... if organizing in another way would improve efficiency, then I suspect
you'd see more organizations incorporating it. But I'm not sure about this.
Either way, because companies DON'T have the power to force their workers
to do anything (legally) they are fundamentally different from the military.

See my last e-mail... Workers can sell their labor to other firms or
invest in their own wages. Neither of these are theoretical; both of these
DO happen regularly. Therefore this model of the labor market is
completely wrong.

You're wrong, because (at least in America) the poor DO invest, ESPECIALLY
when they strike. And even the poor can sell their labor to another firm.
This model is completely and demonstrably wrong.
