    A large percentage of the world’s population has experienced government interference including and beyond who can own what. It is very possible to happen, and thinking otherwise, respectfully, is unfortunately what helps it make happen.

      Everything is possible, that doesn’t necessarily make it likely. Some things can be so unlikely they are not worth considering.

        Most people in East Europe in the 1930-es didn’t think it likely that the rest of the century will be spent under the yoke of various dictatorships. Most people in Weimar Germany didn’t think that the Nazis are a serious threat. There are probably other examples I am less familiar with.
