I'm not a masker, but sometimes I dream of a free market
where business owners can set their own rules.

Rules - one of a set of explicit or understood regulations or
principles governing conduct within a particular activity or sphere

I believe owners submit to insurance companies, to Fire/Electrical
Codes, to local ordinances, etc.

free market - an economic system in which prices are determined by
unrestricted competition between privately owned businesses.

Market manipulation - In economics and finance, market manipulation is
a type of market abuse where there is a deliberate attempt to
interfere with the free and fair operation of the market; the most
blatant of cases involve creating false or misleading appearances with
respect to the price of, or market for, a product, security or
commodity.
