Coin-operated elevators sounds like a libertarian paradise!
Coin-operated elevators are a libertarian hellscape!
A single paid fare on the elevator will take the passenger to any floor. While their are fixed costs on the elevator car and the initial installation, the rest of the costs incurred on elevator operation are variable based upon how many floors the elevator traverses before dispensing its passenger. The same coin that takes a passenger to the very top floor of a 25 story building will also only take a passenger one floor up. Where are the variable fare rates so that each passenger only pays for what they are consuming, and nothing more?!
Because much higher costs are incurred from the top floor passenger than the one-floor-up passenger, it means the one-floor-up passenger is subsidizing the top floor passenger. The top floor passenger is a parasite sucking value out of the system without returning an equal profit margin as the one-floor-up passenger. What we’ve got here is socialism!
you aren’t thinking of the little guy, the one that takes advantage of the coin operated elevator to lift multi ton barrels and drop them to generate slightly more electricity than they could have gotten from the electric company
