I think that what people are missing is the premise of acceptable level of exploitation.

In the U.S., there is no limit on this. The violence of poverty is completely overlooked as is the incredibly uneven playing field.

The healthcare industry is set to extract maximum profit with minimum service and people who cannot afford the premiums are left without care options/face bankruptcy.

This is just one of the many forces increasing income inequality.

Similarly, education is expensive not because it costs that much but because it is set to maximize profits.

I’d say that dentists making 150k is less of an issue than the fast food workers making 1/8 of that with minimum wage which has not increased in decades and a house median cost is above 600k-1m.

Human beings are not seen as having dignity or value beyond the exploitable.
