But back to Roger’s coffee shop: Perhaps you all would be in favor of the government regulating coffee shop so that every latte cost $6.75. Would you all like that?
Not at all! That would defeat the point, which as razz and happystuff pointed out, is an individual choice; plus the idea of a gift economy is to give the individual patrons the option of what to pay. So there is MORE freedom in that model, not less.
