There’s no exploitation involved because it is not a zero sum situation.
- jrm4 4mo agoThis is a ridiculously oversimplified application of first year economic theory. No, we do not live in the textbook fantasy of "everyone is always free to make favorable trades and therefore no one is exploited."
- simianwords 4mo agoYes but yours is more of an edge case than mine is. Trades are almost always positive sum with some externalities. Trades aren’t exploitative like you claim.
