The idea that "market forces" is a neutral thing we can only accept, like the weather, is a particular ideology that is widely, but not universally, accepted.

The idea that "market forces" is a neutral thing we can only accept, like the weather, is a particular ideology that is widely, but not universally, accepted. There are people behind these forces and people beneath their consequences. The balances here are the result of choices we've made and vitriol is a valid reaction to those results. Personally I'm very comfortable directing that vitriol at the actual people who benefit from the exploitation of these market powers at the expense of others. But everyone isn't there yet so you have to give them a little room to be proxy mad at the "market forces" in the mean time.
