Calling neoliberalism a cult is the kind of truth telling I admire. Increased corporate profits shouldn’t be our governing principle in a free society. If anything it guarantees that many will never be free. Humanitarian values & democracy should be the ground on which we stand

And neoliberalism is not only about the policies (austerity, deregulation) and principles (individualism, mere growth). It is about calling "values" those choices which are actually only dictated by interests, by social roles as they are now, e.g. environment as "convenient".

Why would anyone choose work that pays that low when every decent size town has businesses like Target, Wal Mart, Starbucks that start at 15 p/hrs?
