Denialists' Deck of Cards: The Third Hand, Competition is Magic

i-c2389d448fdaa3a787a1059c5a46809d-6c.jpg A denialist does not soft pedal competition. It is a religious term. It is frequently employed, because any market can be described as competitive, regardless of the facts or the myriad factors that practically limit choice.

Competition solves all problems. Period. If competition doesn’t solve the problem at issue, then it isn’t a problem, or people really like the problem (4 of Spades, 5 of Hearts).

Because competition is magic, there are no problems to solve. And those that may exist will be solved, eventually. The denialist will say: “give competition a chance” or “sometimes a competitive market takes time to reform” (3 of Spades, 5 of Spades).
