you get what you pay for

Say everyone wanted lots of widget and started buying widget. What would happen? Other people would respond by providing widgets for people to buy. As more and more people bought widgets more and more people would produce widgets and there would be more widgets for sale. What does buying mean? It means giving money to someone for something. What is universal basic income buying? Do we want more of that? What does providing free housing to people buy. Do we want more of that? I hope so because we will get more of that if we start buying it.
