because capitalism dictates

So your model of capitalism is that one can either provide value or make a profit, but not both because they’re opposing forces?

No man. The “free” part of the term “free market” means nobody has to buy shitty products.

It’s why we’re surrounded by abundant, diverse, high quality food: the only way to succeed under capitalism is to provide more value for the dollar than your competitors.

Somehow people think free markets cause a lack of alignment between what people value and what happens, but that’s exactly the opposite of what’s true.
