I remember an episode on this topic at work. In MA, surrounded I was by communists -- I mean, liberals -- "free" stuff is all the rage, especially for poor and low-income, doncha know because liberals 𝑐𝑎𝑟𝑒.
Of course, making some stuff "free" causes costs to rise on all the other stuff, which, of course, leads to increases in 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒𝑠. This reality was the subject of a non-work related conversation with my recruiting team. They were kinda complaining about it -- to which their reality-based boss replied, "Well, it costs a lotta money to pay for the free stuff."
To which their stupefied faces silently replied, "Wha?"
Wake up!! Sheesh. Stupefied faces is right. Shit costs money and their "free" shit costs them...our freedom and theirs. The hard part is, they have no effing clue and aren't interested in getting one. And there are way more of them than "us".
Always remember that there's always a cost -- for the "free" stuff.
That is what people just don't get. I am about ready to hit them in the forehead myself.

Disturbingly gets to the point. Thanks!
Right? Bleck. If it is free, it really is NOT free.
That's right - no such thing
We used to know that, before academia and media turned so many into zombies..
