      To be fair, the markets for bare necessities like medical treatment, basic nutrition, clean water, electricity, housing all shouldn’t be entirely free anyway. Luxuries, we can debate, but survival should never be held hostage by greed.

      Obviously, this is the opposite of securing necessities. Any tool can be used for evil, and Donnie Kiddyfiddler certainly is.
