As a physiotherapy student, I trained in a neuro rehabilitation clinic. I met ppl with post-polio syndrome (decades after the original infection, the muscles affected by polio started to lose strength). There is no cure for polio or PPS.
Why we would risk more ppl getting polio is unfathomable.

Me: So, if they charge high prices and make shoddy products, and are the only ones who offer that product because all their rivals are gone, we're just...out of luck?
Conservatives: No. You can start your own rival business.
Me: ....for them to buy out as well?
Conservatives: Free market!

have any incentive anymore to keep prices low or quality high.
Conservatives: Well, that's their way of doing business. It's obviously working for them. We can't interfere.
Me: But if companies won't regulate themselves, and the govt can't regulate them, who will?
