Do you want to know what really grinds my gears?!

When someone says “the market will decide”.

It seems to imply that whatever happens is inevitable, rather than a result of decisions made by policymakers or corporations.

If you’re analytical, it feels dismissive. It shuts down further conversation, as if there’s no point in exploring how to influence or improve the system.

I think it reflects a passive, overly simplistic mindset.
