252. you ignore the power imbalance, and so are promoting injustice and inequality
You see the worker's freedom to quit as equal to the boss's freedom to fire them; the consumer's freedom to reject substandard or misrepresented products as equal to the boss's freedom to flood the market with those substandard or misrepresented products.

There could be no more powerful argument made against equality and justice and workers rights. By pretending the inequality is not there, the injustice is perpetuated. That is the main way it is perpetuated, the most effective way to promote injustice.
