Commodities, such as food, water, health care and housing are life essentials and should not be controlled by the market principle of profit maximization, which sets selling price at a point above that affordability for all. Explanation: Profit maximization is established by selling to the highest bidder, i.e., denying the commodity to those that cannot afford to pay a higher price. In nonfinancial, human, terms this means that people starve, suffer and die. If you think financial, free market, considerations and terminology are adequate in controlling commodities pricing and distribution, you are an inhumane beast.
