Comment Re:It's about time (Score 1) 455

Lots of stuff is overpriced, Walmart certainly gets away with selling trash for much more than it's worth. Can the courts tell retailers to set prices closer to their near-zero Chinese production cost? But no one is forced to buy from Walmart, just like Walmart could drop VISA or only accept cash (and EBT). Or, since cryptocurrency is so efficient, it could only accept Bitcoin (applicants for the EBT benefit would be given a Obamarig to mine).

I think most hunters eat what they kill. Few need to though, which is why it's more of a "sport" similar to how it's called "gardening" not "farming". Is spending the weekend hiking in the woods using some skills to get meat really more sadistic than sitting on the couch watching TV and eating the wings of a dozen factory farmed birds?

Some of these rich guys are true misers, they are so stingy they don't want to give their fortune over to their children, so narcissistic that the knowledge that their fortune will be destroyed makes them feel even wealthier. It's a psychological disease, not something to be admired or justified

These things aren't always that easy to put in words

Anything that exists can be precisely described and quantified. But you don't care about that, because you like to see yourself as a grunting silverback charging through the undergrowth to rescue a vagina from the "sex-obsessed baboons"

Comment Re:Poor Record on Health (Score 1) 578

If you live in a deprived state healthcare doesn't offer much, at best will extend a miserable old age. The upper middle class on the other hand are obsessed with health and aging, have teams of doctors examining the slightest problem. They are also part of or peers to the government and medical elites and are in general partial to causes that will give their comfortable lives meaning and assuage their guilt. The saying is better revised "Free lunch: IT'S A TRAP!"
