It’s funny because I’ve literally never seen a single person genuinely make that claim. Just people being mad about theoretical people making that claim. I’m sure they exist, they must with how many people claim to know someone that said it, but that line of logic doesn’t seem to be as common as people make it seem.
And on the free market isnt sorting itself out - the claim is usually that the gubment is still not letting the market be free enough. That’s usually the claim, for example, from all the right-wingers I know for when they get cornered on why health care costs are 1000% ridiculous.
Republicans: “Free market!”
Also republicans: “Buy American” “we need to ban Chinese companies from importing and selling goods in the u.s.”
“Outsourcing labor is just smart business”

It’s like the national anthem. It’s drilled into our heads since birth, but no one actually knows it.
I mean, if you perform it enough times, you tend to retain it. But then, I have some Carmina Burana and Palestrina memorized for the same reason.
9 years I had to sing it. I don’t remember it past The first two lines. But I like to block things like that out in my head.
