?? I'm using those six quoted terms to have a meaning the same as what Google returns as the first definition for five and the second for one (which I think is obvious to all readers from context): "functioning market" - A functioning market, in economic terms, is a system where buyers and sellers can freely interact to exchange goods and services, with prices determined by the forces of supply and demand, and where information is readily available. A well-functioning market is characterized by competition, efficient resource allocation, and the absence of significant barriers to entry and exit. "sustainably" - 1. in a way that can be maintained at a certain rate or level. "flooding" - 2. arrive in overwhelming amounts or quantities. I posit that no one was confused and thought I meant "1. the covering or submerging of normally dry land with a large amount of water." "ideally" - 1. preferably; in an ideal world. "quality" - 1. the standard of something as measured against other things of a similar kind; the degree of excellence of something. "scarcity" - 1. the state of being scarce or in short supply; shortage.
