>"The situation in this industry has created a mercenary frenzy where everyone is running around trying to maximize what they’re able to make per hour." That describes the general trend in human behavior worldwide for the past six thousand or so years. This seems like such a foundational truth that I question if the author is writing it in good faith. It's hard to respond to that, as it's not clear to me at all what you're claiming. What's the 'general trend'? Towards everyone running around in a money-making frenzy? Perhaps it's extremely metaphorical and nothing of the kind is meant. Just that people are..constantly trying to increase their incomes. Or something. What is the 'foundational truth' - that there's a general trend towards that frenzy? ..So after 6,000 years, we've reached that state, or are close to it? What you said sounds like something I want to criticize, but I'm not at all clear what that was. All I can say is, it sounds like you're in the USA, talking like that. One of the parts of the USA that's particularly like that. The whole world is not like that.
