    Capitalists finding a way to tap into the market of “people who can’t afford motorcycle air bag vests” means poor people have access to it when they previously didn’t. Is it worse than a world where anyone could get one for free from the DMV or take it out from a library or something? Yes, absolutely. That’s easily preferable to this. Is it better than a world where poor people had no way to access it? I would say so.
