("There is no difficulty, for what is permitted to commerce is nothing but a temporary way, as is the custom of merchants" - Rabbi Eliyahu Mizrachi (HaRa'am) Devarim 17:16, and likewise: "It began to snow. At first a temporary way, afterwards fixed until the roads were obliterated" - Agnon / Ir U'Meloah, 10)
