Wow. I don't even know where to start with that tirade, MR. All I can say is thanks for the amusement while I'm stuck here at work. You seem opposed to the free market. Are you a communist?
Honestly I am very unlearned in politics, not sure what makes one communist, don't really care either. I am opposed to a relatively few people buying all the land cheap and selling it expensive. I am in favor of LL trying to keep prices reasonable and within reach of the majority of the population. It is the "market" that is causing LL to reduce stipends even though they themselves are injecting hundreds of millions of $L into the economy. It's ok for them because they're making a profit on it, but it's not ok to give your PAYING members a bit of spending money because it lowers the value of the $L and therefore lowering their profit made by selling $L's.
SL is not a free market, ever since LL has been "stabilizing the value of the $L" by selling them it is no longer free. They don't directly set values for land or the lindex, but they make changes that show they have a target...not a free market.
Glad to amuse you though. I try to make someone's day every day
