How do I buy food/clothing/shelter from the government? We are already discussing the actions of private businesses.
- jjav 3y agoYou can grow your own food, or trade with a neighbor or buy at farmers markets etc. Also, there are thousands of options where to buy food so there is no corporation oligopoly that can ban you from buying food. Same for clothing. Housing you pretty much always buy from a private individual, never from a corporation. Contrast these to a dystopian world where you're only allowed to make transaction with a credit card but visa & mastercard (private megacorporations) decide to ban you. That's it, you're basically not part of society anymore. (Sure there's discover and amex but their acceptance in most places is low.)
