>> There's no free lunch >In the United States of 2018, that's a matter of explicit political choice, rather than harsh base reality. The point of the saying "there's no free lunch" is that even if it's free to you, /someone/ is paying for it - lunches do not simply materialize without effort. This principle will hold up as long as the laws of thermodynamics do - even in the United States of 2018.
