Oh no, the imaginary number is going down. Whatever shall we do?

Lemmy.ml leading up to the election.

Over the last several years, I have had opportunities or at least contemplated opportunities to make lots of money while exploiting others or being a completely useless finance bro.

The thing that keeps me from moving in those directions is moral character. If you can’t bring yourself to bullshit your fellow human and take from them to enrich yourself without providing any real value, you won’t get as rich as a CEO. Think of all those get rich quick YouTubers who do nothing but sell digital bullshit or ebooks about how to sell ebooks or some other digital bullshit to get rich quick.

There are, of course, exceptions, but what did Brian Thompson really do for society? Moreover, what harm did he cause to society?

These people know they are doing the wrong thing and are cashing in on their ability to take from society while enriching themselves. In the context of health care, they’re literally hurting and killing people.

Remember when the arguments against nationalized health care were mostly about how we would have death panels? How fucking ironic.

That is trump’s end goal. Every little thing he does is meant to undermine American exceptionalism. He works for Putin.

What movie is this?

Uh, good point.

This isn’t just ignorant, it’s also a complete waste of taxpayer dollars and good will. Do something that matters, Johnson.
