   @cereal That ties into what I was saying before. That pricing is a bad way of dropping players from a market because it selects for something irrelevant (how rich you are). You're better off just creating a lottery when a good is scarce enough that it needs to be regulated. @dtluna you're misunderstanding the leftist view of property rights. Private property is the problem: the idea that someone can throw money at a problem, then claim "I did this, you now owe me money forever"

      As opposed to personal property, which is something which is clearly yours. My house is private property in the sense that some management company 150 miles away built it 40 years ago and charges rent on it for the purposes of making a profit. My house is personal property in the sense that I live here, my things are here, and this is where I spend my time. Why not give ownership to the people who have an actual stake in the stuff, the personal property holders?
