Information wants to be free.
But potable water, nutritious food, clean air, habitable shelter, elements-protective clothing, life saving and improving medicine, and time, precious, precious time want to be just as free.
@SuzanEraslan I'm totally not disagreeing with you, but how do you distribute these items freely and without waste? One benefit of paying earnt money for food etc is people don't waste it excessively-well, poorer people don't.
I've heard stories from when the totally free NHS UK health service was set up in 1948 of people getting drawers full of free glasses because they were free at last.
@blankideogram @SuzanEraslan Besides the issue that this story about drawers full of free glasses is citation free and sounds like an urban myth, if your worst case scenario is that people get more free stuff than they can easily organize, I can accept that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
