Xae posted:The biggest problem with Obama care is that too many people are still on Employer based plans. Killing them is the first step towards fixing the system. Is this some sort of 'make it so miserable for everyone that there's a massive push for UHC' accelerationist plan?

Been catching up with this thread and liberals justifying themselves out of concern for the plight of third world workers is really heartwarming  When do we get to see the great liberal fight for better working conditions, safety standards, collective bargaining and pay for said workers with the same vigor that they've pursued investor rights and privatization?

Goon Danton posted:Aren't modern corporations' internal structures effectively command economies in miniature? When I worked in industry, we didn't have competing QA departments bidding on contracts from competing production lines. This isn't a rhetorical flourish, I'm genuinely curious about what distinctions there are that make even large corporate command structures feasible but national command structures infeasible. The distinction is that corporate command structures theoretically face competition from other corporate command structures and the most efficient ones win out.

cheese posted:Puerto Rico has been special-hosed for years now. John Oliver even did a full length segment on it last year on Last Week Tonight. That clip didn't really go through the exact circumstances of the debt though - was there anything similar to the financial crisis where relatively manageable debt was ballooned up into something massive using hosed up financial instruments?

Is there going to be some kind of blowup caused by QE leading to people chasing riskier and riskier poo poo for yields? https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-09-11/junk-fever-hits-new-high-as-tajikistan-narrows-bond-sale-spread https://www.reuters.com/article/us-ukraine-eurobonds/ukraine-raises-3-billion-with-first-bond-since-debt-restructured-idUSKCN1BT19T

I think you'd have to be massively out of touch or flat out lying to try to argue away the current issues with inequality in the US (increasing debt requirements for housing, transport, education, medical expenses + job insecurity, working multiple jobs, zero benefit variable pay employment in the ""gig economy"", the list goes on and on).
