Once the government got involved, it ceased to be a “Free Market”.
Blah blah blah the “free market.” Face it, you do not have any valid arguments and now you are doing the equivalent of throwing up your hands and waving them about to distract from that. Governments have always regulated businesses. From the earliest civilization to now, and to the future.
You obviously pine for some sort of Garden of Eden where nobody can tell you that you have to do nothing, or refrain from doing nothing. You can have that sort of life! Go to South Georgia Island and learn to like fried penquin and roast seals. Or, Somalia. Your choice. I bet you even object to the Ten Commandments!
