This reads similarly to me as conversations that justify medical bills being so high in the US when there’s a closed loop between the those charging and those paying (ie, not the one receiving medical care). “You should be thankful that we saved you 99.5% of this artificially high price tag even though we’re complicit in its fantasy pricing!”

Medical service doesn’t exist for the industry on top of it. Housing doesn’t exist for the industry built on top of it. I wish our government considered the well-being of the host nearly as much as the parasites rather than asking Mr. Mosquito what he thinks would be beneficial.
