#exculpate

MC: Nullification. They nullify/“erase” the ability of anybody they touch.

Mav: Power Mimicry. Basically the opposite of the MC! He can “absorb” the powers of anybody he touches. He has “absorbed” around 25 abilities by the beginning of the game.

Carmen: Adaptation. Her body naturally adapts to any environment! Think Darwin from Marvel.

Silas: Density Control. It’s pretty self explanatory. He can manipulate the density of anything he touches.

Payton: Mental Control. Stuff like empathy, telepathy, persuasion, etc.

Juno: Healing. She can heal/fix practically any injury as long as the person isn’t dead.

Free markets are a lie. This statement may shock you, but it’s time to face the truth. The idea that markets operate freely, without interference, is a myth. They are not free; they are rigged.

The Rigged Game

In theory, free markets promise equal opportunity. But in reality, they favor the powerful. Large corporations and wealthy individuals manipulate the system. They use their influence to shape policies and regulations. This creates an uneven playing field. The rich get richer, while the rest struggle to compete.

Evidence of Manipulation

Look around. Evidence of market manipulation is everywhere. Lobbyists swarm capitals, pushing agendas that benefit the few. Tax loopholes and subsidies are crafted for the elite. Small businesses and ordinary people are left behind. The market is not a level field; it’s a tilted stage.

Pre-Bunking the Myths

Critics may argue that free markets encourage competition and innovation. But how can true competition exist when the rules are skewed? The myth of the free market is a convenient cover for those who benefit from the status quo. It’s time to see through the facade.

Calls to Action

What can we do? Demand transparency. Support policies that promote fairness. Advocate for regulations that prevent monopolies. Encourage local businesses. We have the power to push for change. It starts with recognizing the truth.

Conclusion: A Call for Justice
