This is the evil brilliance of Conservative marketing. The American working classes have been brainwashed to think what’s good for Jeffy and Zucky and Donnie is what’s good for them.
Ain’t this a free market? Whatever happened to that idea
And all those industries are filled with people who need those things, just like everybody else. They want them, too
Had the insurance industry but one throat I would slit it.
And then deny them the medical care!
Sorry being stabbed is a pre-existing condition.
Abolition hurt the cotton and sugar industries, and yes, the slaving industry. There’s even a song about it.
Insurance should have never been an “industry”
Hurt them? Hurt them? I want to DESTROY THEM!
Whoa, easy tough guy.
What? No. We should be encouraging him.

Yes, and?
That should mean that they can switch to doing something productive instead. It’s not even bad capitalist politics.
I literally had a bunch of my comments removed for saying this same thing
Your problem isn’t capitalism per-say, it’s a government that supports corporations over you
Doesn’t matter what system you technically have, if the government cares more about businesses than they do you, you’re fucked

We are fucked.
This is all possible without asking Trump.
All the people who want this: Pick one city to move to. Then build the housing with solar cells, public transport and a hospital.
If banks don’t finance this, have a lottery. One half has to stay and make money, the other half moves and builds the city. Once the city is profitable, the other half moves there, too.
Wow I never realized it was so easy, thanks
or make new banks and finance it yourself through the new institutions
Emancipation was a huge hit to the slave trade industry
I want nothing more than to hurt the industy and take jobs from those who perpetuate it.
Introduce UBI at the same time.
So literally no downsides is what you are saying?
What about all the unions who fought for healthcare?
-My dad, justifying voting for Hillary and later Biden in the primaries.
Every election it was “yes, the left have policy that would directly benefit us, but the moderates won’t vote for that so I shouldn’t either.”
Well except when he voted Bush thinking he would get lower taxes.
“Moderates” is always such a silly term to me. They’re not actually moderate; their beliefs are corporate extremism.
Its not even a real thing. There is no contingent of voters who will vote for “means-tested subsidies to buy health insurance from 1 of 50 marketplaces based on what your family’s expected healthcare needs are and employer contribution”, but won’t vote for free healthcare. There is no “help Israel do only a little genocide” vote.
But every time, cable news would dupe the poor man into voting for what some imaginary moderate wanted instead of policy that materially benefits everyone.
