Yes, indeed: the rich and poor alike have freedom from being allowed to sleep under bridges.

Come on; there are such obvious imbalances of power here that "each side has incredible freedom" is blatantly misleading.

On the one hand, you have each individual software engineer (because heaven forbid we should ever join unions! Those are for people who aren't A+ 10x alpha coders and negotiators, amirite?), every one of whom needs a salary so they can afford food, clothing, shelter, etc.

On the other hand, you have a group of the most wealthy and powerful countries the world has ever seen, who openly work together, have the ear of the flagrantly-corrupt president, and could coast on their cash reserves for, in some cases, many years even if every single customer decided to boycott them all at once.

And you think that "each side has incredible freedom" is a meaningful statement here...?
