cap-think: "Hey you know, maybe it's okay if undesirables consoom product too. I should hire some to tap into this previously untapped market!"

CHUDs will regularly betray their own free market blind faith for the following:

  • Block new housing to keep property values high

  • Ban or complicate certain products if they might lead to a change in what is "normal" (their sabotage of plant-based meat and renewables)
