Thanks Ross, I went to school for economics and so wasn’t excited by the discussion of prices as signals and incentives. Adding in the idea of reduced taxes on essential goods during a crisis is great though, I’ll need to look up examples of that happening. Good metaphor with the bus as well.
If you can't choose your own price, you are not free.
I wrote this while in prison when price controls were implemented during COVID. Just came across it in the stuff I brought home from my cell and typed it up for you.
