Other entrants

The following pair received wildcard into the doubles main draw:

Retirements
gollark: Like I said, I also support UBI or similar "free money" policies.
gollark: In theory you could get better efficiency out of dictatorial central planning, but it's a hard computational problem and has various practical issues beyond that.
gollark: I am personally fairly happy with exchanging money for goods and services.
gollark: Unlike for, say, mobile data plans, where the scarcity is completely artificial because the limited resource is bitrate and not total transfer. I'm not sure how that happened.
gollark: Water being paid for makes sense, as it disincentives using tons of it unnecessarily, and incentivises production and transportation as needed. Although I think most consumer water plans are just flat monthly rates.
