There are some people who can only see dollar signs wherever they look.
They've always been with us and they always will be.
But we haven't let them run the government in many, many years.
Now we have an Executive office, a Congress and a Cabinet filled with people who need to monetize anything they can get their hands on.
The idea of a public commons is completely anathema to them.
They need to figure some way to charge as much as they can for everything.
Public Education? Check!
Health care? Check!
National Parks? Check!
Social Security? They're working on it!
What's next? Our air and water?
Maybe.
