Leo, it’s really quite simple. To use your example, if you eat at Gray’s Papaya (or even a soup kitchen) rather than Tavern on the Green, you still get food. If you buy clothes from a charity shop rather than from Chanel, you still get clothes. If you take the bus rather than a business jet, you still get where you’re going.

You don’t have the money for medical treatment, in a purely market-driven system? You don’t still get medicine. You get dead.
