Huh.

I honestly don't think I've ever read that particular phrase before. Free rain. It implies the existence of costly rain.

I'm not sure how anyone would manage that, but it's fun to ponder :D

Sounds very cyberpunk.

Did you think you can just look at the sky, feel the wind on your hair, or experience the rain on your face? Open up that wallet, because none of that is free, especially the rain. Maximum capitalism…
