<p>The english wikipedia is lacking on the historical side, but you can find out more with the French one : <a href="https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journalier" rel="nofollow">https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journalier</a><p>Google trad of a couple paragraphs :<p>> Most of the modest peasants, men or women, very often still small artisans, small weavers or textile workers, peddlers, boatmen or carriers in bad seasons, could become day laborers on nearby farms and estates, if they had the build and stamina, once their own work was done. Some were even regular day laborers, familiar to a domain steward or a village ploughman, present all year round or usually required for a certain number of tasks. Certain harvest tasks were sometimes carried out if possible part of the night, or continuously by successive teams[5].<p>> Day laborers, brewers or laborers, represented a significant part of the population and sometimes lived, in the absence of family support or a solidarity house, on the edge of begging[8]. In rural areas, they subsisted thanks to additional agricultural work with ploughmen or farm merchants but also thanks to wool spinning, crafts or transport. They also served as additional labor in construction, helped the lumberjacks, made bundles, etc. Women did laundry or took children in as wet nurses[9].</p>

<p>I don't even disagree with you, but your way of argumenting is terrible and actively deterring people from your point that union are a core component of a healthy free market.<p>If your point is to score virtue point, keep at it, but if you actually want to change anyone mind, avoid terms like "is hard to start educating you", it just makes you sound like a douche</p>

<p>Ok, I see what you mean and I agree with you, it would not be a first time a company pulls this kind of trick.<p>But in this case it's not that the reason does not matter, it's that the reason is censorship/bad faith competition, and is obfuscated behind a mistake</p>

<p>It's much better to have _nothing_ than the wrong _something_, since with a wrong _something_ you build assumptions on wrong premises.
Much better to accept that we don't know (hopefully temporarily), so that people can keep looking into it instead of falsely believing the problem is solved</p>
