But it is served by putting 18 year olds behind the wheels of cars and giving them free rein?

It is served when the state runs anti-DUI ads and puts up billboards reminding people to sleep when they they're tired?

It's served when car accidents are either the #1 or #2 killer of children?

I'm not sure I trust you to decide what's best for society.

So tell me where to find a not-profit-seeking human.

I’d say a government employee just seeks profit by doing as little as possible for the fixed paycheck they get. _Everyone_ has a profit motive. The question is how their profit aligned with that of others.

> tell me where to find a not-profit-seeking human.

Easy, most people fit that description actually. And that's fortunate because otherwise the world would collapse pretty quickly from lack of midwifes and gynecologists.

In fact, the neoliberal cult that neglects the human nature and pretends everything is shaped by monetary incentives is slowly destroying our societies…

Most people I know have jobs they do for money not for free.

Everyone need to pay their bills but that's a completely different thing from being “profit seeking”.

I'm pretty positive that very few of the women you know do prostitute themselves for a living despite it being the most profitable activity imaginable. Turns out most women aren't profit-seeking after all.

Reporting. I try to solve problems just to get them solved. I don't seek to enrich myself. By the way, living in your world of profit-seeking-at-all-costs maximalism is the cruelest fate imaginable, but assholes normalizing maximized greed are a dime a dozen, ruining things for everyone else.

Sorry to burst your bubble.

Reasonable human beings can put a value on being able to sleep at night while still trying to make a profit. It's insane to suggest otherwise.
