This is the evil brilliance of Conservative marketing. The American working classes have been brainwashed to think what's good for Jeffy and Zucky and Donnie is what's good for them.

Ain't this a free market? Whatever happened to that idea

Hurt them? Hurt them? I want to DESTROY THEM!

Had the insurance industry but one throat I would slit it.

Abolition hurt the cotton and sugar industries, and yes, the slaving industry. There's even a song about it.

Insurance should have never been an "industry"

What about all the unions who fought for healthcare?

-My dad, justifying voting for Hillary and later Biden in the primaries.

Every election it was "yes, the left have policy that would directly benefit us, but the moderates won't vote for that so I shouldn't either."

Well except when he voted Bush thinking he would get lower taxes.

Parable of the broken window

So literally no downsides is what you are saying?

Yes, and?

That should mean that they can switch to doing something productive instead. It's not even bad capitalist politics.

Emancipation was a huge hit to the slave trade industry

I literally had a bunch of my comments removed for saying this same thing

Your problem isn't capitalism per-say, it's a government that supports corporations over you

Doesn't matter what system you technically have, if the government cares more about businesses than they do you, you're fucked

I want nothing more than to hurt the industy and take jobs from those who perpetuate it.

Introduce UBI at the same time.

forget to add all these culminate into, hurts political parties as a wedge issue/single issue.

And all those industries are filled with people who need those things, just like everybody else. They want them, too

We’re basically headed toward a dystopic authoritarian oligarchy with huge disparity. It’s gonna look like all those fictional dystopias portrayed in Elysium or Neuromancer but without all the cool tech. Yeah, we should have these social programs for people…but unless we crush the oligarchy they’ll create continuous pressure to make sure these social programs are as shitty as possible and be functionally the caricature of socialism the right wing uses for its propaganda. We’ll be second or third class citizens living in favelas or similar social housing.They won’t stop bleeding the people for more. But the thing is, if we get rid of the oligarchy we’ll not need such a huge social safety net*.

*we should have a good one anyway, but it shouldn’t be a response to the disparity created by billionaires, we should just have one by default.

This is all possible without asking Trump.

All the people who want this: Pick one city to move to. Then build the housing with solar cells, public transport and a hospital.

If banks don't finance this, have a lottery. One half has to stay and make money, the other half moves and builds the city. Once the city is profitable, the other half moves there, too.

• blank * industry is a threat to life on this planet.

It's not even simply hurting the auto industry. People are weirdly attached to their mobile living rooms.
