Businesses aren't people.
Where did I claim that?
No, the market does not give a flying fuck about justice. That's why we have a government.
Wrong. Government meddling is in fact the main reason why the market doesn't correct itself as fast as it could.

The assumption of rational actors is standard practice in economics, basically every single theorem depends on that. When I pointed out that racism isn't rational, the argument changed to "well, you can't assume that everyone is rational".
Yes. I know. I have a fucking degree in this field. Believe it or not, people have figured out how to deal with that problem a long time ago. Look up the Efficient Market Paradox, and you'll see why rationality is still a sensible assumption to make.
Nobody chooses to be white either.

Mar A Lago seems like a nice place to get deported to. Thank you for your kindness, I’ll take it.
It's because the point of society isn't to root for bad businesses failing. It's to ensure the just treatment of all people.
Isn't it justice for bad businesses to fail?
Ah, good argument. I'm totally convinced now and will immediately change my opinion.
