Who said anything about people being infallible? Amusing to nitpick market failures when planned economies have all led to mass poverty and famine. And market economies have created, in the last 200 years, unparalleled prosperity.


Meanwhile every single one of these private companies you put up on a pedestal is LITERALLY a top down planned economy.


And if they’re poorly run, the company goes bankrupt or gets bought out by a stronger company. The government isn’t subject to that kind of check, except in the most catastrophic case.
