    cheaper doesnt mean implementation if the capitalists will lose profit.

    the united states could save a huge amount of money by switching to universal healthcare, but that would kill several lines of profit, so it wont ever happen.

    That’s no surprise, and entirely irrelevant.

    The US political system is broken. It doesn’t legislate according to what is thought to be best for the country or its people - it legislates according to what will bring the most money from wealthy individuals, corporations and interest groups.

    Fossil fuel corporations and industry groups have very deep pockets and have well-established channels by which to funnel that money into the hands of politicians, party officials, and assorted powermongers, so the government is going to generally legislate in their favor, entirely regardless of any other considerations.

      They were banned for telling someone that posted MBFC to shove [MBFC] up their ass. Decorum, please.

        I have no idea what “MBFC” even is, but just in general as a matter of principle, fuck decorum. Tone arguments are nearly always the first resort of the disinformation-peddler being called out on their bullshit.

        They were absolutely correct though, is someone posts MBFC it’s either ghoul or someone urgently needing little cognitive shock.

          Not being a suckup, but I’ve never seen a .ml mod or admin ever be a MBFC apologist. in fact i’ve seen the opposite; a .ml mod or admin saying why using MBFC is meaningless. So maybe the reason they are giving you is legit?

          On the other hand, I’ve seen multiple mods on .world worship MBFC as the holy grail 🤮

          Although i also agree with what grue@lemmy.world said
