17. Exactly. Price controls are. But that's an antithesis to a market system.
And even then. Nature usually induces illness to keep populations down. Isn't that related to the GAIA theory?

And one or two other DUers have said that we're cheating nature by eliminating diseases, which in turn creates an imbalance.

The market system is based on supply and demand. Not altruism or helping this planet. It's about making money. Period. And more are bred and raised to keep a wedge between the humanitarian aspect and the financial one. But as the humanity is taken away, other things which truly are nasty get put in their place. Most of it shrouded by psychological garbage that proclaims altruism, yet in practice is anything but.

Once again, it's hard to bestow democracy when those in control know that freedom is the last thing they want their labor class to have. They want control. And money is the best way to achieve that.

I'll admit the :tinfoilhat: nature of all this and I genuinely hope I am wrong. But the future is scary; particularly once people look at ALL the articles out there and start connecting some dots.
