“Some folks just can’t stand freedom.”
LOL. You have drunk the Koolaid and come out the other side of Orwell professing that slavery is freedom.
You describe yourself. Buyers and sellers in a free market with information about the price and quality of the products is freedom. Free to sell or not sell. Free to buy or not buy.
What you call freedom is nothing but crony capitalism, with government meddling in the market to protect the interests of those making the biggest campaign contributions, allowing them to withhold basic information about the products they offer for sale, information which they know would cause some potential buyers to refrain from buying their products.
But, hey, they sure fooled you.
