No money.
And that shut him up.
They're kind of forced into doing this mission because, surprise, the company Weyland-Yutani has hidden a clause in everyone's contract.
So just walk us through what a labor economist thinks watching that scene.
Yeah.
So if the labor market's really competitive, the ability for companies to write contracts where there's sort of hidden risks, right?
Like hidden risk, alien calls, do you have to go pick up?
Those would get priced out properly.
And so you would get a bonus of some sort or get a higher pay.
Yeah.
If the market's not particularly competitive, then that could easily be that there's shrouded, we call it shrouded attributes.
People have the unpleasant finding out that actually your contract has things that you didn't fully factor in and you're kind of stuck with it.
I mean, they don't know they're about to go be infected by a man-eating super killer.
Yeah, I think the technical term is you're kind of screwed.
Yeah.
Now, I just want to say how wonderful it is that the inciting incident of Alien is a shrouded attribute.
It's this little clause about a wildly risky job responsibility that Weyland-Yutani did not need to price into its worker pay because they could just bury it in the contract.
And the fact that Weyland-Yutani could get away with this, that is the second big clue that our poor space truckers, they are not just dealing with a bad labor market.
No, no, no.
They're dealing with an infamous economic concept.
