We don’t exchange goods for compassion

We actually do that all the time. Altruism takes many forms. Or if you wanna be a nerd you can call it Mutual Aid.

Edit: sorry I’ll stop pecking at you, it also took me a long time to deprogram from “Keynesian/Chicago economics is 100% right about human behavior.”

Well you either have a plan to help people or the plan automatically devolves to “extract as much rent as possible from the people”.
