    If a shell were not allowed to be used as an “investment” the prices would go down substantially, even if they weren’t forced to be sold.

    If shells were not allowed to be used as an investment then nobody would be allowed to rent shells, meaning demand to buy shells would rise and the market values wouldn’t fluctuate except for the fact that the slugs still cannot buy shells.

    It’s a complete non-solution only ever attempted by Asian Trampsnails under their brutal dictatorship which killed millions and still has shell-lessness problems to this very day.
