No. Bosses are not actually incentivized to make the unit price of health services cheaper.

Corporations that pollute our air and water without penalty do violence against us.

so basically every manufacturing corporation in existence?

Yes. Violence by capital is severe and constant but because it is diffuse it is not seen as such by many.

Assassinated Iranian nuclear scientists had kids too. There was a thread here a few days ago letting people explore the deaths of children in Palestine. That thread was taken off the front page via flagging.

There is nothing natural about distributed ownership and abstract financialization.

But you are doing things about the bad comments in this thread too.

Why is "well we removed that stuff" a defense in other contexts but not here? In both cases the issue is this community writing stuff you deem objectionable.

In my time in HN I have seen numerous people advocate for the following

* ending all covid measures to achieve herd immunity, accepting that this condemns hundreds of thousands or even millions to die

* ending foreign aid that goes to tuberculosis treatments, condemning hundreds of thousands or even millions to die of a treatable disease

* accepting the deaths of iranian, palestinian, or israeli children as collateral damage because of the evils of their governments

Or go read any thread involving the Jordan Neely story.

Somehow it is vastly more evil when violence is acute and focused at a single wealthy person.

a single wealthy white male person

Yep. Tons of comments here justifying the murder of Jordan Neely when that happened,

First time I hear about that, reading the Wikipedia page it very much doesn't sound like murder: the victim was threatening people on the train with killing them, specifically also a mother with a stroller. The aggressor applied what they were taught as a non lethal hold.

Why a person died during a supposedly non lethal hold definitely needs to be investigated very thoroughly. Either it wasn't non lethal, was applied the wrong way, or there were some other contributing factors.

* _their_ tweets

Should they care that tweets from NazisRule88 are doing better?

Underresouced instructors just need to come up with new pedagogies to handle revolutionary new tools that change extremely rapidly and which also provide an extremely effective way for students to cheat.

They'll get right on it.

Sports gambling was illegal in most states just a few years ago. Prediction markets also didn't exist. We have ample evidence to show us that it did work fine to ban these things. We aren't talking about some hypothetical world. We are talking about a world that existed just ten years ago.

This isn't a "who knows" situation.

It's even worse. A federal court just ruled that these markets cannot be meaningfully regulated by states because they are selling financial instruments rather than providing a gambling platform and federal law preempts state regulation on these financial instruments.
