## Quote — verbatim

> When you see how important it is, the kind of role it plays in our daily lives without even realizing — everyone pays an Amazon tax, an invisible tax... I think it's a dumb problem, to correct supply with demand, and the result is obviously the cost benefit, because what happens when supply meets demand? You're going to see a cost reduction — that's just the nature of economics.
