 >> And you think corporations are any less "corrupt" ? It's the coroprations
 >> that are corrupting the government. How do we solve this problem?


 Ar>Corporations suck, but it is so much easier to dodge them than it is to
 Ar> dodge a corrupt government.

 Ar> Example: Let's say Sony sucks and their PS5 sucks and buying PS5 products
 Ar> becomes problematic because their terms, conditions and pricing become
 Ar> abusive. You pick your toys and buy your games elsewhere.

 Ar> Meanwhile if you were forced by the Government to buya subscription plan
 Ar> from the TrumpStation you would be stuck with whichever thing they decided
 Ar> to sell to you. At best, you might have some money left to buy the console
 Ar> of your liking while still paying for the TrumpStation.

 Ar> As (technically) an employee in the health sector, that scenario is what
 Ar> happens here and the result is pretty much that if you have the money you
 Ar> buy the console you like, whereas if you don't you get the TrumpStation,
 Ar> and if somebody complains private consoles have any issue they are
 Ar> automatically told to stop complaining and go back to the TrumpStation.

 But the problem is, Sony lobbies the government to be the sole producer of the TrumpStation, It spends unlimited money to get its  preferred candidates elected, so that all other devices are tarrif'd into oblivion and the TrumpStation by Sony is the only console available.  If you want to watch TV, you now have to use a Government approved, Sony Produced TrumpStation sold to you at a premium.


 >> (I know I'm replying to MRO here) -
 >> I got news for ya bud. "Insurance" _IS_ paying for someone else's
 >> healthcare.

 Ar> Yeah but in theory that entitles you to services specific to your name and
 Ar> you can leave anytime you like.

 I can? Because I'm pretty sure I'm locked in for an entire year unless I get married, divorced, have a baby, or get fired.  (So is most anyone else who has private insurance be it through their employer or via the health insurance market stuff..)

 Ar> Not a fan of insurance, mind you, but Government and insurance are
 Ar> lightyears away from each other.

 Private Insurance is all about screwing over their customers as much as they can so they make as much money as possible. Sick people who need procedures get their claims denied because the executives might get 0.00000032% less of their yearly bonus.
