Consent is the key concept in a free market. That’s what the “free” part refers to. Contracts freely entered into.

Is that the same 'consent' that has Walmart people working 30 years at minimum wage? Because they 'consented'? Kids working at 8 years old seems to fall under that same 'consent' label.

That sounds an awful lot like victim-blaming there; like "she should not have worn that skirt" kind of blaming.

The free market has always loved to call things voluntary when really Sophie Had A Choice too.
