Yes. That’s because they want people to die.

It’s not a coincidence that they first eliminated employment opportunities for minorities, are now cutting Medicaid, which is the only alternative to employee health insurance, and next want to implement job requirements for Medicaid. The goal is to make it so that “undesirables” cannot meet the employment requirements and are thus entirely denied health care and will die.

Unsurprisingly, it’s essentially replacement theory, but in reverse and very much for real. As is generally the case, Republicans project - they believe that there’s some sort of sinister plan to eliminate white people because they’re in the middle of their own sinister plan to eliminate non-white (non-cis, non-het, non- christian, etc.) people, and they just presume that we’re as evil as they are.

Absolutely and along with that comes the religious grooming they scream so loud about while forcing the 10 commandments into schools.

Since wards are liabilities, there is no business case for retaining them in their present, ambulatory form. Therefore, the most profitable disposition for this dubious form of capital is to convert them into biodiesel, which can help power the Muni buses.

Okay, just kidding. This is the sort of naive Randian thinking which appeals instantly to a geek like me, but of course has nothing to do with real life. The trouble with the biodiesel solution is that no one would want to live in a city whose public transportation was fueled, even just partly, by the distilled remains of its late underclass.

However, it helps us describe the problem we are trying to solve. Our goal, in short, is a humane alternative to genocide. That is: the ideal solution achieves the same result as mass murder (the removal of undesirable elements from society), but without any of the moral stigma. Perfection cannot be achieved on both these counts, but we can get closer than most might think.
