iirc it was bmw who was selling their electric seats as a service. It maybe the only way to avoid this exploitation is a socialist model, nationalize industries and/or pay the workers for their time inside of for their product.

That worked in a case i know of locally, there was a forestry company that had workers speeding for years. So a karen i know got on to a politician and managed to get them to pay by the hour instead of by the load. I still see the trucks on the road, they are much safer now.
