Oh it’s invisible alright.
The average person needs close to fifty dollars an hour to afford a home, healthcare, transportation, food, and a retirement unless they live in a depressed area. If you have children you will need more.
Of course almost no one gets paid this. That tells you all you need to know about our current system.
Not from us, so I can’t understand why the healthcare system there is private and so expensive when you still pay taxes!
Not sure what “underpaid teacher” has to do with the free market. This is a position paid by tax money. And at least in Texas, that money is hoarded by the state instead of being added to the teacher’s salary because the state government is trying to kill off public education.
If it was “free market” you’d be paying out of pocket for private schooling.
Not sure why you’re downvoted - its completely correct.
The “issue” with teaching and healthcare (in socialist systems anyway) is that no matter how good you are at it your organization doesn’t get to charge more. The system literally throws supply/demand out the window as 1, everyone needs it by law and 2, its free. Its done as a “cost to service” and that demand will always exist, and a budget will be applied to service it.
Before some smart ass comes in, there is technically supply and demand, but 1, supply is a wall and 2, demand is a straight line at p=0. Multiple economic theories can be applied, but its not the invisible hand theory.
Who’s talking about the free market here?
