    Time to find employment that doesn’t involve being a soul-sucking leech on society.

                It’s one thing to ask someone to make a sacrifice for a cause, it’s another to tell someone to starve themselves, and potentially their family, to death if they are completely unable to get a job which doesn’t require them to work for someone who is a leech on society. At least attempt to understand the context.

      What? You don’t like the free market?

        If what we’ve seen is actually the free market, then no.

        The free market is one idea, but how about legislation to force insurance companies to pay out for illnesses that natural born human beings get and stop screwing Americans.

            The free market is supposed to be about competition, that’s why basically every industry in the US is made up of 3-5 mega corps that collude together to fuck Americans.

            Insurance industry is like a 500m sprint where every runner has agreed to only walk. Hence nobody has better service, no innovation, costs are high and customers lose out.

          The free market is what incentivises you to be a “soul sucking leech on society”. Toddlers not getting insurance payouts for their cancer is a feature of it! :)

            So all other current and past forms of market system did not have people getting payed for doing evil shit? That is a very bold claim. Just looking at places like China or north Korea today is enough to show just how far from reality that is.

              That’s obviously a strawman you dunce. Although it’s funny you mentioned China as they have socialised healthcare, so yeah, toddlers actually aren’t getting sold out by insurance providers there.

                How is it a strawman? What else was the point if not what I rephrased? Instead of correcting me, all you say is essentially “your are wrong”.

                As for China: They lock people upand let them burn in their homes because they want no COVID. They give absolutely zero shit about any random toddler. The only thing China cares about is their image.

                  It’s quite simple, I never said: “All other current and past forms of market system did not have people getting payed for doing evil shit” I simply said that the free market incentivises bad behaviour. Do you see the difference?

                  As for China, those burnt up toddlers still aren’t being denied health insurance! So this just seems like a reductive, sensationalist example of “whataboutism”.

                Oh yes, poor north Korea, only suffers because of sanctions and has no other choice but to let it’s people starve since every last bit of resource needs to go into the military.

      Have you tried assaulting your boss and restarting your superhero career?

      Let’s be honest here: Going by traditional superhero storytelling, the hero assaults his boss NOT because he’s sick and tired of telling people they’re going to suffer and die (or their loved ones), it’ll be because his boss yells at him or turns him down for a promotion. No traditional hero throws away a vicious career for the sake of others, they do it because they were personally affected.

      Not saying there aren’t stories that break this mould (why is this registering as a spelling error?), but traditionally this is how the story goes. Basically it’s the idea of ‘no point helping others until I don’t get what I want’.

      I really hate traditional superhero stories.

      Or at least posting their address for everyone? Or posting an insider’s guide on how to game the insurance company.
