Lucky enough, we are not living in a free market.

Otherwise we would all be fucked.

Just in case you don't get it: have you ever seen a company making a high quality, sustainable and save product because of free market? Nope they do it because of laws we as a society make.

And in this particular case, i'm absolutly for banning it globally.

A true free market would have plane crashes every day and Boeing being hailed for their excellent safety record.
