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

          If you can’t get a job that actually helps society then you can get the fuck out of it

                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.

            This is not meant to be dismissive but this maybe the best paying job for ops area/experience. They may not have the means to get a better job. While I understand the need to actually contribute to society. Starving to achieve that isn’t going to help anyone.

              You’re describing an industry that exists to employ people desperate enough to abuse other people like it’s a good thing.

                I never described the industry in anyway. But if that’s what you read, ok.

                Damn bro you mean people need money to survive???

                You mean because money reigns above all people who have none will take jobs they normally wouldn’t because they’re fucking starving???

                Almost like we should take care of the poor so they won’t have to take these parasitic jobs (which are created by parasitic people at the top not the bottom) and can survive???

                Take your “altruistic” bullshit somewhere where people can survive comfortably on the bare minimum.

                And since those places barely exist outside of small areas I would say please hold your breath. That way at least a piece of shit dies instead of someone who performed the crime of being born poor

                  I’d starve before harming others like that, and on more than one occasion in life I’ve opted the course that was more damaging to myself because of that reason. Pity you’re too selfish to say the same. I’m going to go ahead and block you though because you’ve shown me clearly that I don’t want to read anything you have to say, so thanks for that at least. Good luck with figuring out how not to be human garbage.

            Most jobs do nothing to actually help society. Our society is not designed towards the benefit of the many but towards the generation of capital. Those sometimes overlap, but usually they don’t.

        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.

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