That's one way to read it. I personally imply no such thing. My opinion is that if something is neither essential for life, nor for a good life, it is unimportant. Any other lines someons draws are their opinion, which they are most free to have.

I see. I disagree with that opinion, too. Where would you draw the line between "unimportant" and "important" - therefore, between prices that should and should not be (allowed to be) maximized for the sake of profit?

Food, water and shelter is obvious. Is there anything else you consider important except those three? If not, would you be willing to live a life where the only things available to you are food, water and shelter - i.e. a life of a prison inmate, or a labour slave?

I agree, where is the line? My opinion stops where written. This was fun though!

You have incorporated the word "important" into your opinion, but you haven't explained what you mean by that word. Walking away from a discussion like that without explaining what you mean by the (subjective) word you used is nothing short of rude. Especially combined with the snarky remark about your own entertainment.

If you want to spill out your opinions, without engaging in further discussion when asked, feel free to open a personal blog.
