Take a rifle into a hospital and see how many corona virus' you can kill. Of course you would have to get them out of the host first. And if you get enough of them in one spot, you should be able to kill a bunch with just one bullet. That is after all what this whole thread is about. Not "freedoms." Not "rights." Or economics. It's about keeping more people from DYING from the coronavirus.
Coronavirus gone in 3 weeks.

safety is the cry of all tyrants........you can't be protected from everything.....but maybe ben franklin was just full of shit
The major downfall of capitalism is in fact that it sucks ass. As things now stand, morality stands for nothing. Making money is what matters. I'm not against people being wealthy. But there should be limits. But that isn't likely to change. Seeing how we actually live in a plutocracy. It's no wonder that the top 1% owns around 95% of the wealth. Also, look at Bill Gates. Just how rich did he need to be. If the average person is lucky, he makes around $15.00 an hour. Which is at or near poverty level. Bill Gates made around $28,333 per hour. Or around $472. per second. Also, for a while, top management of various companies were making around 400 times what the average worker made. I also saw something on TV once where they were talking to the manager of a grocery store. Or maybe the manager of a grocery store chain. I don't remember. But they were talking about them being a little more equatable when it came to salaries. This manager was limited to "only" making 12 times what the average worker made.
The major drawback that people come up with that I have debated these things about is the greed incentive. They thought that greed is an essential incentive to get people to achieve things. I can see it as being helpful. But not essential. I don't think that people were all that lazy. At least I wasn't. If there is something that needs to be done for a civilization to make it a comfortable place for not only them but everybody else, I don't see it as being very difficult to get people to do those things. As long as they aren't overworked, like many doctors and nurses are now being due to the coronavirus. (As well as in danger) Working conditions should also be safe.
When it comes to working, I have a brother in law who is the son of a fairly well to do restaurant owner. As such, he also took classes in business. I asked him about a problem I often ran across as a laborer. I asked him that for business owner, is there any such thing as an employee working too hard for the money you get paid. Apparently, that doesn't exist.

not true.....what you're describing and experiencing is crony capitalism....where the rich get richer because of who they know.......

Althea told me...........
Yes. Yes it is.
Do you even know what capitalism is all about? It's about making money. How much money is enough? THERE IS NEVER ENOUGH! And to get high on the "superiority" brain drugs, they don't give a damn how they go about doing it. Or who's toes they have to step on to do it. (At least in the vast majority of cases) There are endless justifications the evil use to justify their evil. And they do so. One of the labels they use is capitalism.
I was speaking about YOU. Now would you care to reply to the other statements I made in post #109?
