Shadow can you cite a quote made by me anywhere where I endorse complete lassiez-fair capitalism?I don't see what there is to complain about. This is literally what is *supposed* to happen with a capitalist free market. You're making the exact same short-sighted complaint that so much of the self-righteous left makes about "gentrification", ignoring the fact that gentrification is a *good thing*, it is literally prosperity and growth for the future.
In my opinion the government shouldn't be involved in social redistribution but to me making laws to protect people from getting run over roughshod by the rich or people with down right unfair advantages do to position is perfectly acceptable.
Also kindly take into consideration I am venting about something I am slightly depressed about and realize I am in no position to do anything about .
