It seems to be almost a religion in America that the market will infallibly guide money to those who provide value. Sometimes it does. Sometimes it doesn't.

I'm glad that creating social value turned into lots of money for you but that doesn't make it a universally applicable rule.
You should perhaps not be so belittling, especially when it's you who is oversimplifying. Maybe some people
aren't getting what they deserve.
