We are talking about a scenario where a country politically, in its legislative body, decides to btfo taxes, destroys/privatizes THE ENTIRE INFRASTRUCTURE and starts over, using a system where you can't even take a walk in the park without someone charging you 250 EUR for it. For a walk. And then 280 EUR for a walk. And then 10 EUR for a step.

I mean you know I know what you are doing, and we both know why you are doing it.

IRL this would make other entrepreneurs open bakeries with lower prices

this is all hypothetical in this specific example because the government doesn't make bread, obviously. bakeries and shops are private and not tax-income funded. dear god.

also, i have a question.

I'm assuming someone set up hobo gladiatorial matches in exchange for being able to squat on their land and extract water from it and grow crops

Tbh I think I'd break into dolly busters house and impersonate him by wearing his skin as clothes. Doubt anyone would give a shit or notice a difference

And then the next one for $800,000 all the way down to $0.2 where it might stop because the free market equilibrium has been reached and the price of bread discovered

i'm sure you'd just "flock" to another road owner if one large route became unaffordable to you or just inaccessible to everyone because of technical issues or legal or administrative blocks, often even years-long litigations about ownership rights. you'd just invent more space in different dimensions to make room for building new ones that lead from the same A to the same B, right?
