How is this “corporate propoganda”? Are you finally going to pull the “uneducated people know what’s really going on since they’re more moral” card? I’ve been asking myself how long it would take for you to do it. Normally it’s one of the first ones the commies over here pull.
Because it makes a huge difference, douchebag.
So when faced with reality, make lame excuses.
Speaking of…
I understand the differences just fine. I doubt you do. You certainly don’t seem to understand the similarities that’s for sure.
For example, co-ops operate in certain industries, generally, one of which is the banking industry, but you started this thread in an attempt to bash banking for not loaning enough capital to small businesses. So, co-op banking is part of the problem as they failed to adequately fund start-ups too, right?
The fact is, you keep referring to co-ops as something other than private businesses, which is what they are.
Okay, become an attorney and put these people in jail then.
Ya, that’s it for sure.
It’s a justification for military spending.
It’s possible a single-payer system could save money through the reduction of admin costs. It’s how private enterprises save money in M&A situations. However, it’s a leap toassume the government will save money via administrative efficiencies. One I’m not willing to take with the added tax burden it will place on me.
Happens in single-payer systems too at the same if not higher rates.
Happens to less than 1% of the population annually.
Then what, requiring people to shoulder their healthcare burden more so than society? I would say that’s more ethical, but perhaps not more ideal.
Yes, really. Adding a new link doesn’t change that you literally confirmed it with your own words. Unless you’re now backtracking and admitting you were wrong?
No, I don’t and that’s your problem. A) I vote with my $$'s not my words as does everyone else in the US and I rarely vote for fast food. As I said, I buy vegetables from a local crop-share (co-op) and locally sourced beef by the side (might be a co-op), etc… That’s the opposite of backing Big Ag as you undoubtedly do with your grocery store purchases. B) I am fully aware of how determinantal the US diet is for the population, but I believe in freedom of choice, which is why I think people should be free to eat whatever garbage food they want to eat and they should be responsible for the health bill as a result. As should I. As should you. As should all Americans, generally.
No, boss. My positions have been made clear and they are not contradictory at all.
There’s no dodge. I posted the entire history of the origin of the internet in another of your threads in the last month or two. Do you honestly not remember that entire conversation. The government funded the project, but a private corporation actually developed what would become the internet. You can’t possibly not remember this.
@polo77j will get a kick out of this.
Maybe in your tiny brain.
Speaking of you.

So this is it? This is justification to make the public suffer because some make money from it?
And this is a contradiction, how?
How long ago was the thread created?
And back when banks were lying to sell these securities.
Are you confused about the meaning of “reality” or “excuses”?
So, in emergency situations Canada has similar wait-times to the US (not better, but not worse) and in non-emergency situations they have worse wait-times. Thanks for confirmation.
You serious?
Yes, because you know it’s true.
Rather than disposing of waste properly, the company would rather break the law and pollute. And if they get caught the fine is less expensive. Cha-ching! Meanwhile the community suffers
What about the pharma industry trying to limit choice so they can make more in the way of profit?
Should Co-Ops be controlled by Big government?
You ought to check yourself.
I know you’re a brick wall, but I’m going to try this anyway. THE WORLD IS FULL OF SHITTY PEOPLE. Shitty people are not exclusive to the C-Suite. There are shitty people in co-ops. There are shitty people in government.
I have no idea why you have such a hate hard-on against corporations. It’s baffling.
I’m going to repeat this one more time and please take note:
I DON’T CARE.
IF co-ops can compete with and overtake traditional businesses, IT’S FINE WITH ME.
I expected something like type of co-op, business model, industry, CI, building brand equity, target market, competitive analysis, allocation of surplus funds, marketing channels, member retention, gaining market share, pricing, profit margins, even accounts, … something… anything to indicate to me you have at least a hint of an understanding about business. Stuff I did by myself and one partner when starting a business out from nothing.
All you did was jump on a soapbox with irrelevant ramblings. If you do not even know these basics, why do you think your opinions are right on this subject?
No. But they were over there.
Nope. I’m doing fine

You tell me.
What were they lying about? Securitized debt was high risk back then and still is.
I have no idea why he keep belaboring this. No one here has even hinted at being anti-co-op. Why would any of us care if businesses are organized as co-ops or LLP’s or LLC’s or whatever? No one fucking cares.

He needs a villian. I am against workers equally owning the means of production. I am against fairness. I am pro exploitation. I hate kittens. That’s what he’s trying to build up to.
He will quote one of the lines in this post later and say, “Aha! I knew it!”

Look at how he keeps stuffing the part about pharma conpanies in his responses to me hoping I’m going to take the bait.
