    I’m reading a neoliberal economics book right now (know thine enemy) and literally in the very first chapter the author says “high prices for food in emergencies means the starving can have access to food because they incentivise businesses to deliver food faster”. Pretty shocked at how mask off they are.

      because they incentivise businesses to deliver food faster

      Free market ensures water is going to those who need it most! If people can't pay the price, they obviously don't need water that much.
