And what pays for infrastructure?
- mindcrime 10y agoThe people that use it?
- the_mitsuhiko 10y agoThat does not work because most infrastructure needs to be subsidized because it's too expensive for the users of it. A good example is a road up a mountain where only 15 people live. The cost of that road would always be too high for those people.
