    true, but heaping hatred does not make us any beter. acknowledge the hypocrisy nd work to end it. don’t waste energy in useless hatred.

    i had a moment of satisfaction at his end, and felt bad because i let my anger for just a moment make me as bad as these horrible people. don’t become what we fight.

    Mitch is dead and sucking money from US taxpayers. Brain dead is dead too.
    On the other hand, folks might make some money betting he will “die” in August.

    I think america needs to cut this socialist bullshit. If he can’t work, he shouldn’t be sucking benefits out of the taxpayer’s fucking tit.

    Also i kind of just want him to die on the street because I think it would be funny.

    Meanwhile 99% of America would be fired, lose their benefits and be unplugged because they are dead anyway

      Except that one woman who was forced to carry her child to term before they pulled the plug and then charged the family.

        Capitalism is an economic system, not a political system. Politics is the means by which capitalist policies and systems are created and maintained.

        The US political system could just as easily create and enforce (more) socialist systems and policies, but it doesn’t because it’s been captured by corporate and foreign interests.

          How is an economic system different from a political system? You’re making a pointless argument.

          “Why is capitalism not communism? Because it’s not communism”

          Why would foreign interests go against socialism? They are the same people as you, why would they be treated differently?

      Unlike the communistic system where the political leaders use the system to enrich themselves?

      Obviously both are purely economic ideas that can’t exist in their ideologicsl state in reality. It’s fair to say that capitalism scales better than communism. Everyone is communistic within a family, “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs” fits perfectly within the realm of family. Private ownership according to your contribution works very well in the realm of society.

        An actually communist system would not have leaders that could enrich themselves, because communism entails the absence of private property. (including money, owning means of production that aren’t directly from solely your own efforts, etc)

        I wouldn’t call myself a communist, but even I know this.

          Actual communism cannot exist at the level of a nation state. You could maybe get to about the size of a small village before it starts breaking down fundamentally.

        Historically untrue of many communist leaders. Ho Chi Minh mended his own clothes. Vladimir Lenin was practically ascetic.

        Obviously both are purely economic ideas that can’t exist in their ideologicsl [sic] state in reality.

        Capitalism is an economic system that produces commodities: goods that are made to be useful but can not be used until they are bought/sold. Under capitalism, the capitalist owns the means with which to produce commodities and so takes the finished products and ultimately the resulting profits as their private property. The capitalist also makes all the decisions on how workers spend their labor time. On the other hand, the workers, the people that labored to create the commodity, are given a fraction of the value they produce in the form of wages. Capitalism exists here and now, any definition of capitalism to the contrary is idealist.

        It’s fair to say that capitalism scales better than communism.

        We have examples of socialist states scaling just fine. Perhaps we could have seen the true potential of socialism (and eventually communism) as an economic model; but countries that reject capitalism faced economic sanctions, diplomatic isolation, assassination attempts, and retaliatory wars (e.g., Cuba, Vietnam, USSR, Chile [Salvador Allende], etc.)

        Private ownership according to your contribution works very well in the realm of society.

        You can keep your house and toothbrush under socialism: this is your personal property. The goal of socialism is to turn the private ownership of the means to produce all the things we want/need into public property that the workers own. This is necessary for us to stop producing goods for private profit and start producing them for direct consumption.

    Considering no one knows what hospital he’s in. There is absolutely no way that all the RNs, CNAs, APPs, and MD involved that NOTHING would have leaked. HIPAA doesn’t do anything about an unknown anonymous tip.

    With all that said. He is absolutely being kept at the house of someone involved in the cover up. Either alive or dead. Most likely dead. Watch for news on August 3rd that he suddenly died.
