No market for food there? Are the residents all supposed to lift themselves up by their bootstraps before eating?

    Those people are free to move to another area, the market has spoken etc etc.

    Thinking of using this line of reasoning when anti-vaxxers complain about unvaccinated folks being deprioritized in ERs. “We don’t have universal healthcare in this country, it’s not a right - you’re free to change your insurance or provider to find someone who will treat you, it’s the beauty of the American system”

      This, or some variation of how it's the community's fault for having high crime, etc. making stores close up shop.

      Always remember, capitalism is responsible for every success, and people are responsible for every market failure. We have to morally subsidize the glory of capitalism.
