 @mav @GossiTheDog we obviously want to address market failures. That is not a "compromise".  @cshentrup @GossiTheDog Serious question: when someone you don't know dies, do you feel anything? @mav @GossiTheDog No it's not disgusting, it's just basic public policy. everything just has a cost in terms of net utility to society. we can indeed compare human lives to dollars because we can save a human life for a certain amount of money. You can't be serious about working on public policy if you can't understand this. |
@cshentrup @GossiTheDog I wonder if there's a comprehensive list of all of the times either a company directly or a company via a government has - overturned an elected government, massacred a people, destroyed some kind of huge environmental resource, etc. just to maximize shareholder profit.
The mistake that "liberals" make is believing that there's any way of compromising with people like that. That's not a thing. You can't compromise with a group of people who are literally willing to murder and pillage to increase profit.
