I’m sorry but anyone who thinks we’re actually in a free capitalist system is delusional. The freedom is a lie they sell us to perpetuate the system.

An actual 100% free market would be rife with drug and human trafficking.

It's good to have some regulation, and by and large the US is a mostly free market. You are free to start almost any business you want.

Do you people actually think the housing market is a free market????? It's one of the most overly regulated markets! Zoning laws restrict what kind of housing can be built all over the US. Getting rid of those would allow for more mixed style housing and that is one example of de-regulation and making a freer market.

You're conflating the meme's argument with a whole host of problems designed to segregate and let companies profiteer off of single-family housing.

The same free market that would kill them for a Klondike bar? Sounds about right.
