While "free market" is in theory the best way to operate...the problem is human nature...people find ways to scam the system...not everyone wants to be a "team player"....some people are "lazy" or unable to produce like others...greed creates inequalities...etc...its the reason government systems like socialism and communism evolved...they promised to fix certain extremes that exist in a "survival of the fittest" environment...unfortunately those systems seem to play to the lowest common denominator of "free stuff without effort"...and unfortunately even a "democratic" government..."for the people by the people" ends up becoming self surviving just for its own sake with personal agendas having no consideration of the common good...if we could just get rid of humans...the world would be a better place...defective humans lead to defective civilizations...
