This is an obvious piece about the obvious fact that the "successful" capitalist people are an infinitely renewable free resource, a commodity in to which you feed pennies and out of which you demand a lifetimes worth of labour, effort and the pennies you put in to start it going.
People die anyway, and if they die sooner and are ill or old or disabled people, all the better as you no longer have to pay for their care or pretend you are grateful to them.
@Allamanda Jesus god and fried kippers on a bike, you are always looking for a fight aren't you? Just don't bother answering my posts any more you miserable person, I cannot be arsed with you.
@Allamanda Yes I did, and you obviously cannot read, as I asked you not to comment. Just because You post something does not mean the answer is directed at you, it is directed at the points raised, it is a public forum.
Like I said, always spoiling for a fight.
That was another interesting opinion piece by Paul Krugman. Sadly the red state folks will not read this and if they did they would go FAKE NEWS, because they do not understand opinion pieces.
And too many fail (or simply don't want) to see this.
