Corporate Memphis art style is demonic. When I see art like this I don’t think “friendly” I think “antichrist”

The "art" embodiment of the moment an honest sneer morphs into a fake smile. So powerfully does it radiate saccharine contempt, thick and black like candy coated tar, that to look at it for more than a few seconds is to hear the nightmare chittering of a trillion hateful insects presenting their best human face. Corporate Memphis is the closest thing the real world has to 40K's chaos sigils, in that putting any up on a wall drives people to insanity and is an invitation to ruinous powers.

But others are more thoughtful and prudent. One approach is to make the federal government the sole purchaser of kidneys. Donor and recipient would never meet. Compensation would be fixed, haggling impossible. After the kidney is acquired, the transplant process would unfold in the typical manner.

Slightly less bad i guess but under capitalism it would essentially result in the poor selling their kidneys for what? $50k? maybe in a much more equal society i can see some state benefits to incentivize people but definitely not under the current system.

there is already a blood donation market in the U.S. and its as 'problematic' as you would expect

or we could make make organ donation opt-out instead of opt in you dumb fuck

[-] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 25 points 5 months ago

That would create perverse incentives, unlike creating an open organ market and compelling poor people to sell parts of themselves to survive

so is this really because elon and other billionaires are leading the trend in ketamine abuse so the rich need our organs to replace their deteriorating kidneys and bladders?

Remove vehicle safety regulations. It’ll increase donors and increase profits.
