  I don't think she comprehends how immoral and greedy and selfish businesses/top execs are, and how much malfeasance and harm they will rain/reign upon the country if permitted.  I want gov't to leave alone individuals as much as possible (there I'm on board with the Libertarians), but regulate business to keep them from being malign actors.


I think a lot of these Ayn Randy folks are lacking much understanding of human nature, or history.   In every instance where predatory capitalism is given free reign,  economic inequality has grown and the environment degraded.   And workers more trampled on.   

As always,  economic systems can view labor as a commodity,  very abstractly,  and not as human beings seeking higher values in life.
PREDATORY CAPITALISM!
Oh my!


And that is why you are on ignore.

I guess you don’t know how to use the ignore feature 
LOL!

When I think of the abuses of capitalism, I often picture the wealthy execs of GM enjoying a lavish company Xmas Eve party, while laid off ex-GM employees are being evicted from their homes at the very same time not too far away.  Merry Xmas.

Or think of Walmart paying below poverty wages so that many of their full-time employees also need to collect food stamps in order to survive.

Or business execs with $1000 gold-plated garbage cans complaining about government waste.

Nice fiction.

See also: Enron, Deep Water Horizon, Pepsi's Naked Juice, Olay's skin cream, salesforce (dot) com's picketers, Bing's ripoff of Google's search results, Skecher's "calorie-burning" shoes, ABC Food Group's horse meat, Volkswagon's lying diesel emissions test software, and, of course...

The oil companies' lies about energy and climate change plus the cigarette companies' lies about cancer.

Predatory capitalism, indeed, dimward.

If that list is supposed to represent the evils of “ predatory” capitalism then you have no case.
Nu surprise

Holmes:  The curious incident of the GOP cog in the night-time.   

Scotland Yard:  But the cog did nothing.

Holmes:  Yes,  the whole machine froze up when the reality gear cracked.  That's what was curious.

LOL!
That your best shot?

The 1892 book, the Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is a collection of short stories. One of the stories is “Silver Blaze,”a mystery about the disappearance of a famous racehorse the night before a race and the murder of the horse’s trainer.

Gregory (Scotland Yard detective): “Is there any other point to which you would wish to draw my attention?”
Sherlock Holmes: “To the curious incident of the dog in the night-time.”
Gregory: “The dog did nothing in the night-time.”
Holmes: “That was the curious incident.”

News Item

Joe Biden campaign surrogate Jenna Arnold said Sunday on Fox News Chanel’s “America’s News HQ” that no one from the campaign has addressed the authenticity of emails allegedly from Hunter Biden linking his father, former Vice President Joe Biden, to his Ukraine business dealings.

Anchor Leland Vittert said, “What is interesting, you still have not answered the fundamental question, which is can anyone say that these emails are inauthentic and so far, I’ve not heard anybody say that.”


Arnold said, “Yeah, I think that is fair. I don’t think anybody is saying they are inauthentic or not.”

Pennsylvania democrat Governor Tom Wolf to out-of-work Pennsylvanians,
DROP DEAD!

Might need some evidence to back up that spin,  scholar.

Read the newspapers 
Take notes

I did,  couldn't find Tom Wolf telling anyone to drop dead.   I did see something about him trying to reduce occupancy maximums in bars and restaurants, to save lives,  and reduce the suffering from a severe and highly contagious respiratory disease.   Tom Wolf,  it seems,  doesn't want people to get burned on the bonfire of their vanities.   

I wish I were a scholar like you,  and thus find this fascinating news nugget of which you speak.

Keep digging   I know you can do it.

Actually off by at least a factor of 5 and possibly an order of magnitude.

Trump got Regeneron as an experimental drug. He got a wing of the hospital. Lots more.

So would any President 
What’s your point, if you even had one.?

That his telling us that we can all get what he got for treatment and the coronavirus is just not a problem anymore is hogwash - and that his ongoing efforts to wipe out our healthcare, while promising a health plan that has never come in the 5 years of promises, are revolting.

But you knew that. So, goodbye.

Thanks for lying AND evading the question.

LOL he did neither. But you knew that.

Don’t eat dinner in Japan would be my advice.
