Information wants to be free.
But potable water, nutritious food, clean air, habitable shelter, elements-protective clothing, life saving and improving medicine, and time, precious, precious time want to be just as free.
@SuzanEraslan I'm totally not disagreeing with you, but how do you distribute these items freely and without waste? One benefit of paying earnt money for food etc is people don't waste it excessively-well, poorer people don't.
I've heard stories from when the totally free NHS UK health service was set up in 1948 of people getting drawers full of free glasses because they were free at last.
@blankideogram I have *an* answer to this, but it isn't a definitive one (I kind of feel like defining distribution for everyone would be me taking on the role of an authority and the state, which I am very much against), but my general thoughts are like... Just let everything be free, and let people sort it out. If someone is takes drawers full of glasses, and that means others don't get glasses, perhaps we have people just ask them to give up some glasses to those in need? Seems pretty simple.
