Where you see a good point, I see virtue signalling. This has threads of communism / socialism to me. The whole point of capitalism is market efficiency. When we choose to go in favour of “humanism” rather than efficiency, is when we choose to be “soft” just so that we don’t offend each other (and by soft I don’t mean the real, actual, genuinely helpful kind of soft).
