    If I sell you a thing, it’s no longer your money, it’s my money. You get a thing that is now your thing.

      Nah, you get temporary conditional privileges to use my thing. And I decide the price because I’m the only company that makes the thing because I’ve used all of my previous exploitation of you to buy out all of my competitors and buy your government.

      Free market so good
