  1.  @namonamo494  First thing you said. Correct. Second thing you said. Wildly off. It's more about power than it is cost. Keeping workers weak and unorganized doesn't just save money. It keeps power entrenched in a small pool of already wealthy ghouls. Ghouls that actively don't want to be held to account by the rabble who make the money they claim for themselves. Companies will run themselves into bankruptcy than yield their ill gotten grasp of power. That's how a class war works

  3.  @potmki6601  A war between the working class and the ownership class. Sounds like a war of classes. A class war of some kind.

  4. At least as a Dr. You have great working hours, a bureaucracy that helps you do your work, in an institution that puts public (and your ) health over short term profits. Wait no. Sorry I was thinking of a non U.S country. You are going to need a union yesterday
    75
  5. Lawns suck and are a literal propaganda commercial from the 50's. Since lawns are similar to the BS estates found in Europe.
    74
  6. It's a scam to keep the proles distracted over nonsense.
    67
  7. Those strangers are either bots, idiots who bought the propaganda they are constantly fed, or people who are literally paid to keep labor unorganized.
    54
  8. That exact logic is how the Brits managed to invent Capitalism.
    53
  9.  @johnjames502  irrelevant. The goal is to preserve a status quo that benefits the owners of wealth and power in the country. Say anything about whatever, as long as it doesn't stoke any class solidarity amongst the poor's.
    51
  10. I love being reminded of the nuclear sword of Damocles hovering over all our heads.

  13. All these facilities are designed to extract as much money as possible while providing as close to nothing as possible. Especially for people who have mental health issues
    13
  14. They have a brain. A brain that knows lying and actively riling up the proles is consequence free for them. It also serves their main objective, to protect the owners of capital from the gaze of the filthy Poor's and the resulting class consciousness the poor's would develop.

  15. Meanwhile America is running trains as long as Luxembourg.

  19. Good luck getting the real estate developers in that state to stop putting lawns in the Moab.

  20. Duh. America is the global empire serving the interests of the holders of capital. Communism is an inherent threat to the holders of capital so it will always be opposed with imperial violence.

  26. How much of your humanity would you still have if you had to work as a doctor in the U.S healthcare system
    6
  27. 10 people own as much wealth as the combined wealth of the bottom 50% of your country. 10 people squashed your hope for access to healthcare and affordable housing. I don't see you fighting to stop it.

  30. Yeah but that cost cutting has helped to make Warren Buffet slightly richer.

  31. I can't answer you without getting auto deleted. America gave the Hawaiian natives the same treatment the mainland natives got from America.

  32. They are expensive because electricity is expensive. I think California, new Mexico, and Nevada all have different desalination. But they would never meet the demand needed for drinking water.
    4
  33.  @PurpleDog06  Well obviously they exploit the workers. They neglect old people to death. It would be shocking if they didn't also extract as much out of their workers as possible too.
    4
  34.  @doglady9334  That's the actual law. But the legal system is a joke anyway so if it's funny to you that isn't surprising.

  35. Keeping Afghanistan destabilized helps prevent Iran from having direct overland oil pipelines connected to U.S economic rivals like China.

  36. I'm so glad this video will stay on freedom loving YouTube™. So long as the video doesn't have anything unacceptably profane of course. Like 0.03 seconds of unlicensed Pokemon footage.

  37. HRT? To be fair if you are in a red state that delay could just as easily be because you are trans trying to access healthcare.
    3
  38.  @traveller23e  If you mean the native Americans, they were never going to be allowed into the Murican project. Even the ones who "acclimated" to Murica have been set as, at best, second class citizens. But hey, empires gonna empire.

  39.  @Gwilfawe  It's California that gets most of the water and too much of it goes to animal production

  40. Come one. When would the police ever lie? It's not like they make up reasons to search and harass people. Or plant evidence on innocent people to make arrests. Or literally lie under oath because there are no consequences for them in the rare event they are caught or even called out on it.
    3
  41. Yeah but at least it kept China from getting overland oil pipelines connected to Iran.

  42. Old people don't matter. They are just a source of consistent money to steal from until they die. For the glory of Lord God Capitalism

  43. ​ @Mo-mu4er So those kids learn the systems that rule them do not care about them. It helps set expectations for them as they become adults.

  47. Best I can do is bigger prisons -Texas

  48. I remember the last time I went through New Mexico they were growing cotton along the rio grande. Cotton. In the got dang desert. Which they only grew because of guaranteed federal insurance for cotton production (meant to subsidize those swamp monsters in the South. But I guess the south west wanted a piece of free federal money). U.S water use is absolute madness in service to the profit whims of agricultural landowners.

  49. It took years, but it's about time they held that shithole town Danbury to account.

  51. A bar so low it's practically buried

  52. Hey it's been a year. What happened with that?

  53. America is a global Capitalist empire. We will export this model of Exploitation into any market we can penetrate. If you are in the U.K. Our money is being spent on privatizing the NHS and cracking open the city of London's "financial services".
    2
  54.  @max-cedrikvollmer1205  Voluntarily is a poor choice of words. Your political class is doing the bidding of corporate oligarchs because your political isn't getting sufficiently punished for doing so. I'll see what I can find for you. But understand. This isn't some natural process. It is very deliberate planning by your ownership class to expand and entrench their own power over your society to serve their own interests.
    2
  55. Laws that are consistently unenforced are just words on paper.
    2
  56. Time for renters to start learning how to rent strike. Remember. Rent control just means that your rent can't increase unless the landlord makes an investment in the property that justifies the rent increase. A bar so low it's a tripping hazard in hell, and most Muricans don't even have that.

  57. He is another Rush. With the same goal. A propagandist for the owners of Capital to keep the proles from organizing against the people who pay tuckie.
    2
  58. As with most policy decisions in America. Hurting masses of women and kids is fine as long as it doesn't negatively impact the wealthy.
    2
  59. L.A wants to deprive the southwest of Colorado river water specifically so L.A can use that water to keep the Salton sea dust from blowing into L.A.
    2
  60. Yeah but then the owners have to cut a golf game or coke binge short in order to negotiate with some rabble union over money that would go to workers. That money could be used on more cocaine for owners if those selfish unions didn't exist!
    2
  61. Huh, TIL
    2
  62. If it's any consolation. Nothing has changed
    2
  63. Well said. As Web Dubois said. A system cannot fail those it was never meant to protect.
    2
  64. Lol Ok cripple.
    2
  65. On the plus. The golf clubs whose membership is only 300,000 rand's per year didn't have to cut back on their water use during the day zero times
    2
  66. It's not about saving money. It about power. Unions inherently give workers more power than owners want to share.

  70. L.A is trying to waste Colorado river water to avoid dealing with a past mistake

  73. It's interesting how expensive the water bills are in that state considering you are so close to a top tier water supply.
    2
  74. But it's a great place for the ownership class to extract wealth from the rabble
    2
  75. They called them propaganda at the wage slaves but the PR firm said captive audience meetings helped deflect the obvious class war nature of the meetings.

  76. Yeah but we have industrial military. We also get cheap bananas and vanilla products so it's worth it.

  80. It's hard to have good doctors and nurses in a healthcare system that actively prioritizes profit over something as trivial as human life. Give me the world's best doctor and nurse and I can break them inside of a month working the standard 80+ hour work week rotations.

  81.  @TheMyrmo  Tell that to the Murican right wing.

Colombia is one of the last countries in Latin America that let's the U.S have military bases in it. Also all those drugs they make are bought by us.

  91. Taiwan has in it's constitution that it owns all of mainland China. There is literally no way Chinese Taipei is independent. 23 million in a nation of 1.5 billion people is a rounding error.

  94.  @Knightmage_elf  Lol you have never fought for democracy. You've done the opposite evey time the filthy rabble half a world away voted in a way that didn't serve the interests of your ownership class. Afghanistan was no different. If the Taliban become a stable government. Then other nations(Iran and China) can work out deals with them that don't suit your master classes short term interests.

  95. Yes it was. If you were part of the western Capitalist class of course. Which you obviously aren't.

  101. Who?

  102. Power firmly entrenched in the hands of the ownership class is the justification. It's a justification they don't have to explain to filthy rabble like you, so they don't even bother.
    1
  103. Because companies are a class of Capitalists. And their class interest is to keep the working class as subservient as possible. The company you described would never be allowed to prosper.

  105. Which you only have because communists took control of part of the country after the big war. America has never had such a thing happen.

  111.  @vger9186  Oh well good news then! The U.S sanctions on Afghanistan right now are killing 10 of thousands of Afghani people. 8.7 million will starve to death by 2023 if those bleeding heart liberals at the U.N are to be believed.

  114.  @hblaub  You will have to check as long as it means the percentage of collaborators the Murica empire has to reward with citizenship is greatly reduced. Call them "the best" or whatever other generic term you need to use to prevent the majority of Afgan collaborators from coming to the imperial center.
    1
  115.  @hblaub  Lol do you even empire bro? How does making Afghanistan stronger help Murica maintain global control over the world's access to oil supplies?
    1
  116.  @hblaub  You talk like a poor with no concept of power. No one cares what you agree with. Oil control is the reality. That Control over oil has NOTHING to do with consumption by the U.S domestic rabble you dullard. If you weren't such a dullard you might care about what oil control does for the U.S. A trading outpost? No. They need to be under U.S control or too unstable to govern. The U.S sanctions to this day will guarantee an unstable Afghanistan for the next several decades.
    1
  117. If the U.S hasn't destabilized Afghanistan during the cold war then the global ownership would have had something terrible happen. Iran would have overland oil pipelines connected to China. Which means the western master class would have to compete for profits. They will send hundreds of people to kill millions of other people before they allow that to happen.
    1
  118. Lol being a solider of Murican empire has nothing to do with helping the rabble. You as a solider are a tool for American imperial ambitions as dictated by the Murican ownership class. Your job was to prop up a puppet government that would let Iran connect an overland oil pipeline to China. Also depending on where you were deployed to make sure all that Afghan heroin flowed towards nations Murica wants to destabilize (like Iran, Russia, China, etc).

  128. Hey man. Your work has ensured the murican ownership class won't have to worry about Chinese economic development via Iranian overland oil pipelines for decades.

  158. Wouldn't universal healthcare solve a lot of those issues?

  159.  @Jonny5Fails  I mean,what you are ignoring is that the people who limit the amount disabled people literally don't want disabled people to live. Since humans have no inherent right to life. Humans only purpose is to serve the glorious Lord God called markets(and the owners of Capital). Disabled people can't serve markets, so they can't live. Honestly do you even neoliberal bro? This is basic stuff.
    1
  160.  @Jonny5Fails  Disabled people don't contribute to the market. They just add expense. You have no idea how much it costs to make any building with a disabled worker ADA compliant. It's cheaper to keep them suffering on the government Dole. And less politically disadvantageous then just letting them die in the streets of exposure.

  163.  @firstlast8258  No it isn't. That's why the majority of the world didn't use the stuff. And even the U.S only started using that corporate heroin because a major corporation literally highjacked medical research institutions to make them say heroin can be sold by doctors.

  180. Capitalists on their yachts know that didn't because the goal of keep Iran and China from having any overland oil pipelines through Afghanistan has been guaranteed for another 20 years minimum.

  183. Look. I work hard plundering the world selling things people don't need at the expense of literally the rest of the natural world. The wealth that has made for me is more than I will ever be able to spend to meet anything as trivial as basic human needs.

  189.  @DragonQuicksilver  cool. The people who own the field you toil in want to protect their financial interests no matter how many of the filthy poor's that ends up killing.

His evil billionaire prospects can be overthrown by the working classes. All we have to do is engage in some class conscious jolly cooperation.
