      What they mean is policies to protect consumers “cannot be done because we want a free market” but any situation that results in making more money is A-OK even if it’s not friendly to a free market.

      I’m saying that when legislation is proposed to protect the consumer/people, everyone’s excuse to not support those kinds of laws involve the hand of the free market. In actuality our government has been captured by the owner class and they change the laws in their favor when they are getting fucked by the hand of the free market.
