Kinda gross that someone's dad got killed in the street and everyone is ignoring that because the shooter is cute and the victim worked for a bad company. I hate the US healthcare system as much as anyone else but the two kids who will grow up without a dad really don't deserve this.

- you are a fascist, we're just absurdists. And see the inherent ridiculousness of life and the world..and the cunts running it._niko
- Absurdists, no. Callous, hypocritical, virtue signalling and inhuman. Much like the dead man. I’d bet a shiny gold coin we’re all part of the 1%...Morning_star

- @ms in an attempt to avoid using (big c) 'Capitalism' you've used a broad definition of 'commerce' when the issue your refering to is one of Capitalism andkingsteven
- not of commerce.kingsteven
- @KS no, I meant ‘commerce’. The effective regulation of ‘commerce’ in BOTH the private and public sector is not happening. Education, military, etc is ...Morning_star

- @MS it would seem you're just jumping through hoops not to admit that anti-capitalists have a pointkingsteven
- Capitalism, like Communism is an inert system, neither are inherently bad or good. Anti-capitalists, like anti-police or anti-communism is a populist...Morning_star
- ...catch-all description with little to no real meaning.Morning_star
- its easy, commerce and trade exist across countless economic systems, capitalism commonly refers to the current economic system (as i said, 'google Capitalism')kingsteven

- So Adam Smith was wrong?palimpsest
- yeah, i'm not in disagreement. i just thought it was funny that in that statement you used a broad definition of 'commerce' as not to appear anti-capitalist.kingsteven
- when your shtick for years is not to falter from a narrow definition of capitalism. but in this case even that would be more correct than 'commerce'kingsteven
- When we justify murder in the streets because it aligns with our causes, the world is very much, fuckedDaveO

- there is a direct correlation between a country's airports and their nation's health benefits. if you're mistreated by underpaid, uneducated TSA agents...hotroddy
- your public healthcare experience will be on par, except for more bureaucracy, corruption, and inefficiency.hotroddy
- A better analogy is public transportation. If it’s dirty, unsafe, and a poor experience, it’s hard to have much faith in the quality of public healthcarehotroddy
