Sounds like fun to finally have the time and resources to get into your restoration hobby. There are a few here in town who drive around their old, classic autos as daily drivers.
They all are classic examples of why government should not be involved in the private sector.
...
laissez-faire
...
The private sector is most efficient mechanism.


Laissez-faire doesn't work, sadly. The best example is how the very rich can get even more by buying up prime land then using it for profit without compensating the cities and communities that suffer.

Good examples are sports stadiums and technology campuses like the Apple, Facebook and Google headquarters where they sell our quality of life and weather, build campuses with everything the worker needs from dry cleaning to hair cuts and free food on that campus (so the workers spend less time on these items and more time working) then they destroy the local communities as only the highest paid can afford to live close to the campuses. The workers then gentrify the local communities making it so you have to pay $23 an hour to get someone to wash dishes and subsidize the health care, housing, electricity and water bills for those workers.

Sports stadiums gridlock the traffic and have concerts at night that keep neighbors awake from miles away. Most of them have figured out they can take most of the good that went to neighborhoods by offering expensive food in the stadiums rather than have the fans eat nearby in restaurants owned by small businesses.

I watch the Warriors and am amazed that "color announcer" on TV who is an employee of the organization working with the announcer who works for NBC Sports, can't stop saying enough about the food quality at "Chase Center."

Anyway... enough ranting! LOL
