MODERATORS
Stories like this are why my blood boils any time someone suggests that something being legal means it's a-okay.
And why I hope there are other Player 2's out there in the world keeping watch over the health insurance and pharma price gougers, because we know definitively that the Republicans and Democrats aren't going to do a goddamn thing.
And this bullshit is particularly galling:
Eh, the slavery argument may not hold as much traction as we once thought
The morals of our leaders inform our laws. The problem is that you don't become a leader in a capitalist society by having morals
If consequences dictate course of action then it doesn't matter what's right, it's only wrong if you get caught.
Don't forget that there are more victims here. Poor Optum and Walgreens are feeling sad that people noticed that they're shitbags. Giving them more money would make them feel better.
