We all need to remember that when she was alive and still writing, Rand made it
very clear that what she wrote is FICTION and nothing more. She denied making
political points or advice. She was outspokenly direct about what she thought
of people that saw er writing as a political manifesto, she was not amused.

Sounds like an AynRandian pseudo capitalism. (yeah, I know the right has
cherry-picked her writings). Free markets in real life aren't such a
black and white issue. Rural electrification and later with phone lines
were actually of great economic benefit "cost-per-mile" aside. As this
virus is demonstrating we have to be team players. Hopefully when this
blows over as much as can be expected the US heath system may finally be
forced to ealize that truth.
