Cisco is famous for being sued for all sides. They let go of middle-aged white people (who sue) and then hire young Indians they can underpay (who also sue.)

I mean I'm kinda glad they sue instead of roll over and take the pay. International hiring at lower pay is a capitalist strategy you see everywhere.

I watched a Business Insider video a while ago about (of all things) mushroom farmers somewhere in the US. They bluntly admitted they lost tens of thousands of dollars worth of crop because they couldn't find staff. They couldn't find staff because they only hired south-American people, and they only hired south-American people because they were cheaper.

Very long story short, under capitalism, employers don't want to pay their staff.

> under capitalism, employers don't want to pay their staff.

I see. And under which system do people want to pay for things?
