"My philosophy is that we can just have all the good things without any of the bad things, and anyone who disagrees is intrinsically evil and can be purged" Oh wow, my brain is expanding from hearing all these new high-level ideas

This is a meme, but I’ve legitimately seen so many people saying that he shouldn’t have shot him because “eat healthier and you don’t get sick, it all your fault” it’s like yeah bro, my bad for being born with genetic heart problems, I’ll try better next time.

The plutocrats bought laws making it mandatory for them to do this. It is illegal for them to do the moral thing. Shareholder derivative suits will be brought against the plutocrats for doing the moral thing. So entrenched this has this become, it is now not only legal, but moral to be immoral.

I would argue that legal status does not define morality. When referring to mandated professional conduct, I'd rather use the term "ethical".

That's not actually true. The laws about fiduciary responsibility aren't anything like that strict where a CEO can be sued for not pursuing every possible avenue of profit. They chose to be this awful in the pursuit of money, nothing forces them into it. There's no laws mandating their behaviour.

1 mistake is that even if they got growth every year they would still be mad, because capitalism needs to make MORE GROWTH each year. Like, if in 2022 they make 10 bi, 2023 20 bi, 2024 30 bi... they'd still be "dying" because the rate of growth didn't improve, and that doesn't please shareholders

Don't buy heath insurance then. No one was forcing you to expect under the ACA. Which was so great that those who wrote it made themselves immune from it.

Almost every month I think about how US Congress gave themselves Cadillac health insurance and left the rest of us to fend for ourselves. Rather than working to make sure the maximum number of Americans had the best healthcare possible. But then I remember more than 1/2 in Congress are the 1%.

These aren't the people I want to run out systems. They will always create a separate system for themselves.
