Naive question from a european: Aren't there companies on the market who can offer a cheaper price and therefore beat greedy competitors?

You'd THINK capitalism would cause that to happen, wouldn't you?

Doesn't work when people don't get to choose not to take it when it gets too expensive! That thing that capitalists always forget about: necessities.

Every time someone talks about you being supposedly free to choose where to work they should get instant diarrhea. Let alone medicine of course, that's a hard dependence.

Nobody is truly free without proper UBI and free healthcare and good public transport. Only then true freedom can exist.
