Mind if I ask you why are you so interested in arguments? I already provided empirical evidence of the opposite of what you suggest, doesn’t that beat any opposing argument?
I can easily flip your argument around: In a free market workers can ask for whatever pay they want, since they want to be paid as much as possible for as little work as possible, eventually the owners will be left with very little profit, just enough to survive.
What makes this argument wrong and yours correct is not evident to me; both are disproved by empirical evidence.
Because the world is complicated and there could be a lot of factors determining the equilibria, and I’m looking for insights that cover many actual and possible cases. (Also, I don’t think you named any countries? Someone else named some countries, but it seems like at least some of them have heavy gvt-enforced worker’s rights and gvt unemployment benefits, which does not seem like what you’re imagining.)

I didn’t mention any country because you didn’t ask for any. Anyway, it seems we aren’t having a very productive conversation so I’m gonna stop here.
have a good day
