I live in Norway. The system is fucked. The economy is full of monopolies and the solution is always to subsidise things that become unaffordable instead of putting a price cap on them. Private companies are allowed to charge whatever they want because they know that the government has their back.

The issue here is the lack of regulation. Regulations work. What doesn't work and is a scam is "the free market will autoregulate".
