This reminds me of the recent revelation how a major disposable lens maker
was marketing three lines of lenses: cheap ones, good for a few days;
medium ones, good for a week; very expensive ones, good for a month.
You guessed it - the lenses inside the packaging were identical.

(I find that most self-described "libertarians" are actually fucking statists.)
