The problem these days is everyone is self centered and unwilling to work hard

[...]

but in reality we are unfair to each other.

The last part of your sentence is correct. So maybe the reason everyone is "unwilling" to work is actually because they are unwilling to be exploited. Considering how capitalism utterly failed to regulate the market and wages are still piss poor despite every CEO and their henchmen crying about the labour shortage, when according to capitalist theory the solution should have been to immediately raise wages as the low supply and high demand of labour necessitates higher prices. That's the excuse they give us when they jack up the prices on food and basic supplies yet they reject the same logic when applied to workers.

I think there isn't much alternative to a free market. As it turns out everyone is ready to exploit everyone else.

I don't know man, I don't think I'd fuck over human beings just to make a few bucks. But then again, I don't call myself a capitalist.
