I had this idea where, basically, if you’re unable to care (even a little) about the plight of your fellow human being, you’d be stripped of your human rights.

If that's the case, why can't he charge for the garden hose like he (supposedly) wants to,andbut give credit? Or is the issue that he won't give credit at all and demands payment on the spot?
