But also the marketization and commodification of everything.

Basic necessities like housing and food that there's more than enough for everyone made or being made, being denied to people to keep the price of those commodities artificially high, is not normal. Food being destroyed with bleach and housing being kept empty while people go hungry and sleep under interstate overpasses is not normal.
