...Beware believing that can't happen here; yes it can and yes it has in hundreds of other cases across history. You were doing something other than bong rips in history class, right?
Mark Cuban about a month ago, before the latest distraction over in Iran, challenged Trump to "break up the health insurers" to resolve cost issues. Notice how that went over about as well as a fart in church -- and was instantly buried. It got one article in the Salt Lake Tribune as far as I can tell. Oh by the way notice the Live Nation nonsense settlement announcement? Settlement? What's that ****? 15 USC Chapter 1 doesn't talk just about "settlements" (civil penalties) it mandates 10 years in the federal slammer for each and every person involved in a violation.
Ok, ****head, where are the ******ned indictments?
"Oh but the stock market would go down!"
Uh huh. It would. And? Stealing is always easier than creating, I remind you. Stock prices that go up because you created rather than stole are fine. Those that go up because you stole, often at gunpoint in some way because other than at gunpoint someone will undercut you deserve said felony penalties and if the government will do its job in this regard then perhaps what is deserved is rough street justice.
This is, when you get down to it, ultimately what leads to war and "civil" is an incorrect term in all respects in that war is never civil.
I and many others voted to deport every single illegal alien. Why? Because their presence is a huge part of why your cost of living has gone through the roof. Supply and demand is the first law of economics. The second is that anything you subsidize (which is really just about providing a "floor" by government force to) you will increase the cost of until it destroys both you and the government itself if it is not stopped.
Examples abound; Food Stamps (EBT) anyone? Why has Frito Lay cut prices? Did the cost of corn suddenly drop like a stone due to some technological innovation? No; what changed is some states have killed being able to buy their products WITH EBT CARDS! In other words the price of potato chips went up because the government mandated that you pay for Chiqueeta's Fritos!
Now do both health care and education and consider that both have skyrocketed in price not because it got more expensive in truth (Calculus hasn't changed a bit in the last 1,000 years) but rather because the government demanded you buy someone else's health care and education.
This **** must all stop and if it doesn't eventually the people will be faced with the singular choice "kill that mother****er or die."
You do not want "society" to go there.
