As a matter of fact, yes.

We subsidize their military but can’t pay for our own? Interesting. But also you just come off as obsessive and, well, you know.

Bro seeing Israel when they’re not even in the post lol
- Comment on Boycott Starbucks 1 week ago:
A bit of both, I’d wager. Same goes for fast food and whatnot.

Convenience. I make my coffee at home, but I pass dozens of Dunkins, Starbucks, gas stations, etc. on my way to work. Can’t say I’d be able to locate a local café in my area.

As I’ve heard one person say, “your right of way doesn’t matter if I run you over.” As a pedestrian, I always wait until I see the car slowing down before I step out in front of it.

I don’t disagree with you at all. I think the corporate class ought to be held responsible. However, I’m not a fan of individuals being the judge, jury, and executioner. Part of the power of the Nuremberg trials, for example, was the exposing of evil and proving the individuals were tied to it. It would’ve been quite different had the Allied forces simple shot the Nazi leaders dead without any sort of trial.

I’m failing to see the disconnect. Someone can want healthcare reform in the US without supporting cold-blooded murder lol.

I believe so, yes. Other to a the well-documented issues that arose from the information problem, Vivek Chibber has done some recent work on the incentive problems that also plague Soviet-style command economies. …substack.com/…/why-soviet-style-planning-fails

Not only does it make sense from a global perspective, but it also makes sense economically. China would still be in the gutter if they didn’t have market engagement. The USSR, for example, failed dramatically at trying to have a strictly command-based economy.
