Their next project is to rent out all the air in Minneapolis, but only for
60 to 90 minutes at a time, and only now and then, so not to worry.

Think of all the money the private sector could make selling oxygen masks!
Clearly, having air as a public commons resource is a direct affront to
the spirit of capitalism, free enterprise, individual inititative, and all
that has made America what it is today!

Or would you rather get your inferior air from the nanny city? Hmm? Hmm?

I won't feel good until I'm dropping a quarter into the meter for the next
10 minutes of air. As for what happens to the poor people and the animals,
who needs them?
