The problems neoliberalism fails to solve well or at all are those that affect economically useless (or used-up) people who are not physically or mentally capable of making their own basic $ decisions. It just chews such people up if family/social workers don’t intervene.

Same thing in a free market since there is no distinction between value and price the system can discern
Right but that's like saying shale oil wasn't oil until markets found a way to extract it. Even before it started becoming possible to profitably extract it, people were still investing money in owning shale oil lands; disregarding this though, the chemical facts remain the same

My point is it’s not a failure attributable to malicious intent. It’s a side-effect of “seeing like a market”. Like color blindness isn’t a perverse refusal to see color but a genuine discrimination failure.

Didn't mean to attribute it to malicious intent, and I hope I haven't done this in a while. It seems to me that it's generally more of a side-effect of lazy probabilistic reasoning that doesn't account for conditional probability or address cases with limited data.
