    How.

    No, really. Specifically tell us all here how “they chose that”.

      By fucking the economy so hard they most people live paycheck to paycheck, no savings, and since there’s no universal healthcare people need to pay therapy from money they don’t have.

      This is by design, keep the poor poor so they don’t learn enough and get enough resources to change things. Things like fair pay and healthcare cost a lot to industries that pay lobbyists.

      If the current status is costing the government more than universal healthcare, who is pocketing the difference? Hospitals, insurance companies.

      Yeah, “they choose that”. “They” being the industries that pay lobbyists to make sure that “that” keeps happening, and “that” being US citizens not being able to afford therapy, in between other things.

          You missed my last paragraph. “They” does not include you, it only includes the industries that benefit from this status quo. Voting is irrelevant for this matter. Did you read my comment? I never mentioned voting.

          Are you talking about the US, or elsewhere?

              Why are you and others in your position not organizing and rioting?

              The answer, I expect, is that you’re not willing to risk the relative comfort you enjoy.

              That’s on you.

                  So, no answer?

                  I ask again. Why are you not rioting?

                  I have as much empathy for you as I have for Russian and Israeli citizens. As much empathy as I would have had for your average German in 1939.
