It's similar to stocks except you're not actually investing anything into a company so that they can build real things that serve real people. You're just speculating on whether the computer pixels will go up in value or not so that you can cash out at someone else's expense

Half those corporations do not serve anyone or build anything.
Lets just agree to disagree.

Violence is always bad, and vigilantism is wrong.

Health care in America is a fucking disaster of complexity and corruption and legit only serves people like Brian Thomson while killing people (like my mom and many millions of others). The justice system is to blame IMHO.

We all know the US lawmakers have been both incompetent and corrupt over the last many decades making many more laws than are necessary (and laws that hardly ever serve the people).

Now is the time, and opportunity, to massively simplify our laws and entire justice/legal system to serve people in a logical, equal, and fair manner. There should be no tiers of justice, there should be no extreme crimes that money can wash away. I don't care who you are if you 1st degree murder someone with proof beyond a reasonable doubt you should get executed. This BULLSHIT that it is compassionate to put rapists and murders behind bars for life is a scam placed in peoples brains by big jail lobby. It would be much more compassionate to the victims of said crimes and save a lot of money to guillotine the worst criminals and compost their corpses.

Just think how much we would all save in both time and $ if they simplified the laws and punishments.....talk about government efficiency and benefits to small businesses and regular people. We spend 6% of our GDP on criminal punishment, that is $1.64Trillion/year. DoGE could easily save a trillion per year by criminal justice reform alone.

All criminal laws should be on a website and purpose built so that all people can learn all of the criminal laws (and punishments if laws are broken) by the time they graduate high school. Would probably lead to a lot less normal people getting in trouble and would def scare the corrupties so bad that bare minimum they would stop fucking everyone for money they don't even need.

my brother, hillary is one of probably thousands of politicians that believe it. why do you think its solely HER idea? she wasnt even the first person to say it

Well this was an adult conversation.

Also I agree with the people that dont care a poor destitute CEO was taken away from us in the prime of his life. Its funny how this devolved into how much money he made though like that matters for some reason. If I was the CEO of any other health care company, Id already be half the world away refusing to do business in person for the next few years. Any of these folks that go out in public after this have serious stones.

how much money he made is secondary to how many people he indirectly killed to pad the corporations bottom line. its interesting how conservatives are pro life but only for unborn fetuses and CEO's of multi-billion dollar health insurance corporations, the average American can just go fuck themselves eh>?

How many lives do you think would have been saved if these insurance parasites didn't spend the last 50 years lobbying against national healthcare?

~1.75 million americans according to chat gpt. thats 35k people per year which is a pretty conservative estimate, some are as high as 45k

I can see how that is totally the same as bitcoin i guess.

Who cares if its hypocritical or not? We don't judge history's butchers by their sincerity
Its a pretty simple and direct observation. People who embrace hatred and militancy to the point they support the killing of some unknown 'other', are too far gone. Its the role of civil society to squash such sentiment. To call it out, to remonstrate, to teach people to be better.


There is no distinction between the lynch mob of the south, the anti-intellectuals of the khmer rouge, the death squads of the ss, the pogrom mobs, the antifa cheering dead cops. Its only a matter of scale and effect.
This kind of radicalism is taking root again, in the west, and its laying destructive seeds.
