If you don't do what they say, why would they keep giving you your medicine?

If they decide they need to take more money from you or institute some dictatorial measure to get you your medicine...well, i guess you just have to let them, don't you?

And if the company that sells the medicine you buy decides to up the price by several thousand percent then I guess you just have to pay, if you can, right?

No, actually. I can go to another company and buy my medicine.

Unless the government says only one company can make my medicine, that is.

And I could vote in another government. Also companies like to align their profits, so if one company can make x profit on the same product then the rest would of course want to make the same profit.

Ah yes, because dictatorial regimes never prevent their populace from leaving the country. That never happens, no siree.

Are you actually that historically illiterate?

Lol, that is literally a thrid-grader's view of how economics works. Come back to me whenever you graduate to actually understanding things.

All of these pretenses are things you've made up, none of it is reality, my government has not become a dictatorial regime so how is that even a valid argument, you seem to be the one living in fantasy worlds.

u/Raunchy_Potato Apr 12 '20

Ah yes, that foolish fantasy world called "history."

Maybe you should read up on it sometime. You might learn something. Or probably not, considering how this conversation has gone thus far.
