A system can be rigged even when everyone thinks they're doing the right thing. For example, the system for academic promotion at universities is a very much 'rigged' game, there are the 'real rules' and the 'rules they say are the rules', but nobody is manipulating it, it's just an emergent phenomenon from a series of well-intentioned processes.
probably obtaining VC funding in the valley is the same way.

Curious about what the difference between "systemic issues" and 'the game being "rigged"' is?
One is usually an an inherent problem (e.g. with design, implementation) and the other implies a bad actor manipulating the thing in question.
