    I mean, tbf, even asides that, why should our livelihoods be a competition? You need to compete for a house, compete for a job, etc. It seems like a system that can’t provide for everyone results in competition, and yet, people who defend capitalism say this like it’s a good thing? What is so good about that?

    The “perfect competition” concept (where ideal competitive markets lead to better prices and higher salaries, etc) is obsolete, i read milton Friedman debunking it funnily enough.

      Not just a race, but a full throttle sprint that gets faster and faster

        Yeah. Really makes me wonder how people gaslight themselves into glorifying “the hustle” of working themselves to the bone
