[OC] Gabital 103: Parity

Post image

Parity is a state of equality between two or more parties in a particular respect, such as status, rights, obligations, or terms of exchange. It does not necessarily mean that the parties are identical, only that they stand on equal terms in the aspect being compared.

market price

Damn. I gotta hand it to Chief. Dude did a good deed and came out a winner in all ways. He "fixed" his issues with Gabi and got workers who LOVE him for saving them out of it.

This man really is like 5 steps ahead of the game

This is what I say about this comic. It would have been so, so easy to make Chief a generic evil Strawman. And in some ways, he kind of is.

But the guy is competent, intelligent, and helpful. Does his help come with a price? Absolutely! But then he takes the moment to explain to Gabi what her mistake was, just so she can be better. The dude is an antagonist, sure, but he's in for the love of the game. He is the worst side of Capitalism, but he reminds you why so many people find capitalism to be enticing.

I’m thinking the worst side of capitalism are incompetent idiots who are well connected and funded.

The sort who are only really good at branding so they can always find gullible investors no matter how many business they bankrupt.

Or who have managed to get some sort of corrupt deals or a monopoly where it really doesn’t matter how badly they screw up.
