This is a very strange take, like high school politics. Ultimately the only way to "change the entire market philosophy" for the result you suggest is called the USSR. That's how it ends and then it decays and collapses. As long as people have individual freedom, both in what they can buy and in what they can create companies which don't have products that people want and don't make a profit to survive and thrive will go under. It is strange amd concerning to read all this socialist ideology in 2025. I get it's not uncommon in young people as a "phase" but I think it's also because younger generations don't know what it means because they never saw it. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

The whole article documents a product that people do want and like so much that they're willing to donate 4x what the owner-operators of the company asked for. It's odd to see you expressing disdain for 'high school politics' and 'because younger generations don't know' while also displaying such ignorance or disregard of the subject matter, like watching factual waves roll in and dash themselves on the rocks of obdurate opinion. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

You realize there's an entire spectrum of socialist ideology between liberalism and authoritarian planned economies, yeah? It's not a Boolean, and it's not a slippery slope. We could have broadly liberal markets owned and run by the workers, and without the authoritarianism. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
