yup, agree with all of this, very insightful. In the book I just
take a couple examples of this kind of logic, but don't go into
detail to establish the case. I think other people have already
established quite well that our system depends hugely on hidden
subsidies and externalized costs. I refer to that, but pretty much
take it as already demonstrated. <br>

proposals as these<div class="im"><br>

This isn't communism here, this is just fairness. If you take
