It is refreshing to see one of the most vital elements to human survival treated as just that, rather than a mere commodity like gold, to be bought and sold with a focus on equity and profit. This does not and has never made sense, in the same way that only buying food with an eye towards someday making a profit from it does not make sense. It does make sense within our current economic system, which sadly does not make any distinction between the fundamental requirements of human life, and all other products or commodities. We all are worse off for not being able to see the difference and separate the two.
