    They are the ones taking a risk. The labor is still going to be exactly where they started if they take a job and they get laid off.

    Yup, the risk is becoming part of the class that’s being exploited (or ufurghled; you never gave your own word that you wanted to use). You have to remember, you’re the one defending capitalism, I’m the one arguing against it. So my position is that it’s unfair for the capitalist to exploit workers for the surplus value of their labor on the premise that they risk being brought down to the level of a worker, your premise is that this is fair. It’s important to note, if that’s not your premise, then you’re not defending capitalism, and I have no idea why we’re having this conversation.
