Not everything that is good and free, is always going to last for free. Some people out there need to figure a way to make ends meet, like the rest of us. Some people want to be rewarded for the dedication of their work. If they decide to monetize what was once free, then they’re going to.
Some things that are the exception are software like Linux OSes and programs like LibreOffice. But I’m talking about things you really loved and couldn’t believe that were free one day, suddenly turn around and have to slap a price tag on it.
You know, people got to sustain themselves and that’s the truth of it.
Land ownership. We just have to accept that most of the earth is ‘owned’ by people who have no natural right to it whatsoever, they just happened to be born wealthy and so part of the planet that we all have to live on belongs to them.
There are people where I live who are now wealthy because the unfarmable strips of wasteland they’ve somehow inherited have recently had wind farms installed them, who pay them rent. Through no innovation or intelligence of their own, they are now rich. How is that fair?
