Are you a sockpuppet for the other user here that wrote a very similar comment ?

- toss1 1y agoNo, it is not the same thing. Money is NOT the entire (nor even accurate) scorecard for all things. The "free market" is not the best solution to all problems (e.g., start with the Tragedy Of The Commons, which "free markets systematically exacerbate). Just because the external benefits of a more cohesive society and pleasant neighborhood cannot be full monetized does not mean they don't exist or there is not much more value there than appears in your idea of profit. Tautologically using profits as the measure of value is idiotically reductionist.
