 First, thank you for your time and effort you put into this conversation.

Probably the biggest misunderstanding we face here is that I refer to the free market. And you kindof indirectly present (justified and probably rightful) fear of interventions from the state (also via allied corporations).

There are still things we should not forget and we should not sacrifice everything and everyone (like hugely reducing hunger and powerty) we've built just because some evil actors. That would make us equaly evil.

When someone calls to abolish chemical fertilizers or similar I tend to get triggered and also demand economic proves that it's doable and ideally I'd like to know the opprtunity costs.

If you'd like to continue in this conversation I have plenty to talk about 😂
