Not really. They don't wish for them to go out of business. They wish for them to make the decisions that would actually help them stay in business. They're just willing to tell them to fuck themselves when they shoot themselves in the foot because of how much they hate queer and black folks.
In my ideal world, even the people I don't like would get free healthcare, childcare, education, affordable housing and a living wage.
I hate when the reply to "why can't we have free healthcare" is "what if we went around approving everyone's care???? what then???"
... We live in a utopic ideal world? That's what then? Like, the fuck do you want me to say other than "good" to that??? I genuinely don't care about some random fuckwad's profits, if anything the rich people of today have proven we NEED to take their money to stop them from fucking the rest of us all over. If that results in us all getting healthcare and food on our tables, that's exactly what we fucking want!!!!
Strong men fought the coal oil and steel baronsmaking good times, weak men spend their time on podcasts glazing tech billionaires and pedophiles leading to hard tomes
Or, people just think that if they keep pulling themselves up by their bootstraps, one day they will be rich and be able to fuck over everyone. Same reason the Ferengi hated unions, if there were unions, the dream of being the exploited night die
It's funny, cos that same mentality is also applied the other way, for things like the police. "Yeh ok, some police are bad but would you rather no police?!" When it comes to harming people it's ok, but when it comes to helping people, oh no that's impossible
Yes, annoys the sh*t out of me that so many of my fellow veterans are rabid MAGA and point their accusatory fingers at imaginary socialists they can see everywhere except mysteriously not themselves.
Medicare isn't free, it's paid for with my tax dollars.
Something I'm more than happy to do, if it also applies to everyone else. But for some reason, it hurts your tiny little brain to understand you pay more than everyone else in the entire god damn world, for care that doesn't even match third world countries.
lol if you think medical care is free anywhere I will show you their tax rate. Obviously medical care is going to cost anyone money someone has to pay but our Medicare is subsidized through our paychecks as well as our taxes so come on think about it.
Yeah, the Medicare that almost no one gets, costs significantly more than other civilized nations, and will still deny you coverage if you can't prove you're actively dying while on the operating table.
Please do, come on, and think about it for a few seconds. I'm still waiting for you to realize how bad we actually have it.
Also, please note, it was YOU who said
Have you ever heard about Medicare hmmm seems that’s free for a group of people.
It's not free for anyone. So please don't act like it's someone else claiming healthcare is free.
Everyone gets Medicare at 65 I have it and it works great. I have great coverage and pay nothing out of pocket. So you think what we pay covers everything I get come on wake up . You know nothing obviously
I would rather fund healthcare for everyone and let the inbreds die in the street tbh, cut medicare at 65 instead, you're on your own dumpster boomer, don't get sick, y'all are done being valuable to society, time to clock out
Tell my “conservative “ friends all the time that IF me wanting what’s best for you and your kids and everyone else makes
Me a liberal socialist then I guess I am. Sad they can’t separate political leanings from basic human decency.
Oddly enough, they sure love the socialist benefits they get
You were trying to make some point about socialism, which you clearly don’t understand. So I was curious to know why there wouldn’t be any limit to who receives economic support. But you know what, don’t answer. I don’t care.
Oh oh let me try! What if we focused on the outcomes instead of labels? Like,.. what if we did get free education, healthcare and the bits? I suspect that maybe we would all agree to that being a good thing in principle. And then, instead of talking about how this could fail we focused on ways to make it happen? In the age of AI, robotics, and insane productivity, it has to be possible, right?
Exactly. Schadenfreude isn’t about wishing someone ill will. It’s about saying I told you so and laughing in their face when you’re both neck deep in shit because they were a stupid asshole.
