Let’s be careful here, folks; a FULL reading of Cruz’s paper is required. I’m still looking for that.
This below from Motherboard online publication. Anything in brackets were added in by me.:
And so what you have here is one of the staunchest supporters of the free market in America [Cruz] arguing that specific aspects of the free market are fundamentally broken [contracts/fine print]. Companies have used this inefficiency to get fantastically wealthy off the backs of their consumers, who can’t do much of anything to fight back. Voting with your wallet generally does not work, and so in 1996, Cruz advocated for regulations or “compensation” for consumers who are harmed by companies.
