Financial barriers are a kind of discrimination that is totally legal because it can be passed off as mere bad luck.
Paying employees in company scrip is illegal, but paying them with debit cards that only a handful of retailers can afford to accept is somehow A-OK.
The right loves to claim that under socialism, the government decides what you can eat, what you can wear, where you can live, etc. But if your wages are so low that there are only one or two stores you can afford to shop at, and only one neighborhood you can afford to live in? Oh no, that’s not authoritarian; that’s just the free market running its natural course.
The twisted irony of the free market is that its logical conclusion is the crushing authoritarian dystopia that ancaps think socialism is, but because the repression is carried out through the mechanics of the market rather than deliberate actions of the state, they think that means they can pretend there’s no repression happening at all.
