How is this not open to corruption and worse too. Folks doing "favors" to supervisors who then get marked as doing a day's work. Or some other favorites getting preferred work over others.

It's not that simple, and it's why a free market would probably work better over the long run than some proto-communist jobs for everyone scenario.

The free market is also full of corruption. It's called wage theft. It's very prevalent and especially in such situations where the workers are so vulnerable.

And please refrain from using catch-all phrases like "free market" and "communist". That's the mark of a very stupid person.

Ad hominem retorts are more the mark of stupidity, but I'd suspect you wouldn't know about that one way or the other.

A base inability to argue facts also would likewise betray some lesser faculty or learning.
