    Yeah that’s a cool fantasy but realistically this system will never provide for basic human needs. Health care is a glaring example but it’s the same with housing, food, clean air, drinkable water, etc.

    It’s not that the public has a bloodlust to kill poor innocent CEOs. It’s that the public has a right to defend itself from these deadly leeches.

      cute nihilism but it’s been proven to work time and time again in other countries.

      the US simply needs motivation.
