  You literally said: "Almost nothing is a free market".
Yes I did, in a broader context, which it is commonly assumed the reader is following.

The things distorting these markets in the US are typically nothing as simple as land, natural resources, etc... more they are policy decisions and politics. Suggesting otherwise is facile.

That really is the last I'll say on the issue.

What does "Almost nothing is a free market" means "in a broader context"?

The context of a subthread that was specifically about the US economy?

We’re not going anywhere where useful now.
