Lobbygow, in All Your Home Are Belong to Us, notes:
In other words, “The Old Boy Network can do what they damned well please with regards to anybody’s property.” This moral sleight of hand involves a bit of misdirection by pointing out that the seized properties are paid for after all. So fucking what? A market that is not a matter of choice is neither free nor fair. If I am forced to sell my property at a time that is not of my choosing, and with no power to set my own price, then the payment cannot possibly be fair.
Yup.
