Homicide is wrong and it can be a slippery slope.

However, the system for dealing with monopolies/oligopolies is broken. Regulatory capture has occurred. The rich shifted taxes to the poor. And a Fortune 8 company continues to kill thousands of Americans and make massive profits from doing so.

The Paradox of Intolerance tells us that letting this continue will only result in the deaths of thousands more Americans. Tolerating this behavior results in more 1000x more American deaths and inspires others to profit off the pain, misery, and death of our fellow citizens.

AI has it's usecases, but it's not currently at a place where students can be left alone with an AI. This is dumb.

Healthcare is a human right. Socialized medicine is cheaper than our current system, gives more people access, and prevents incidents like this.

It is cheaper both in direct costs and in terms of unforeseen consequences.

Agreed. It **should **be a meritocracy. However, for anyone who has worked a job for more than a few years, it's obvious that it often doesn't work that way.

False choice fallacy. Both can be the problem.

Socialism for the rich.

Rugged capitalism for the poor.

The richest Americans are above the law.

Intelligent people leave a space of about two cars ahead of them on the freeway.

Stupid people think that space must be for them.

We do have lots of places like Sheetz that serve a similar function, but to be entirely automated is rare.

Automats might be a closer analog.
