Strained to say there is meaningful consent in a society where working is a necessity for survival. There is no requirement to spend all your money on a flashy car, or to drink alcohol at all, to survive. They are genuinely consensual choices. Do you really think an 18 year old is ‘striking a bargain’ with a supermarket like Tesco?

The continual desire to interfere with the bargain struck between worker and employer is bizarre. The government lets you gamble away your entire capital, spend all your money on a flash car, drink yourself to death, but heaven forfend you should be required to stick to your agteement when you get a job.
