Family and friends has high reason why. One strong version, states that there is only seller care.. Utilitarian is best described in simple with what's best for people. If we should ask if why or not, it always depends. Only should be those whom have been in more pain them you.. Those whom the only people who can tell it like it is and give it what you get it. People try to make people to get more benefits for some. Its always about something, that most people can't afford..like a house. One is able to give way of acting of there own, as long as they aren't affecting much.. The way is always clear and will always be. What seems fit for a well run society? Depends one who you are. They way others can view you. Those whom have it or have been. Are the best to understand these people? All markets are known well only because of who you know. No one should over abuse over other people it sounds like Is all over and around with the amount of it has been going though,
