minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•8 months agoYep. Hard to tell from a pure capitalist point of view. I’m firmly in the “suckers” camp.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•8 months agoI don’t think greed is necessary. I’d argue markets exist to cater to human wants and needs.
