Implicit Bias

This article cites only one example of a criticism of the profit motive and a questionable one at that, and yet spends a whole section on counter criticism from multiple publications. If this is to be a debate then you need equal time from both sides and the ability to respond to specific criticisms of your argument, not a single straw man. If this is an explanatory article then I think that the counter criticism section should be folded into the main article or relabeled something like "proponents" and rewrite it as people arguing for the profit motive rather than pretending that they're arguing against Michael Moore. Maybe put some actual critical theory into the criticism section, like say Marx, it's embarrassing! 194.223.72.57 (talk) 11:10, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
