God Bless the Free Market

[Bebek Sincap Ratatosk]

If its true, then its not an issue of Free Market, Managed Health Care or Anything Political beyond the simple statement:

Wow, that pharmacist is a shitbag.

I think we need a meme, like a bumper sticker or symbol or mascot or something

which says if you watch humans suffer and you don't do anything about it because it's not profitable, or because being a human being is not required by your job,

it's the same as the SS soldiers who were "just following orders".



we should actually write letters to people like this -- and the firemen who watched that family's trailer burn down and didn't help because the dad didn't pay $100 in fire protection money.


this cultural is so insular sometimes. everybody's really trying to survive on their own island. resources are thin. sharing outside of your tribe is nonexistent. it's a cut throat world.


Dear Asshole:

You were perfectly capable of easing another human beings suffering, but you sat and watched instead. I know you have tons of excuses - like "I was only following orders". But if we have to be trapped on this rock with rubberneckers like you, you should at least do us the courtesy of being human once in a while, even if you're on the clock.

Signed,

Humanity

The Free Market Works, But Only If You Aren't An Asshole

Be Human Or GTFO

You should help your fellow humans... its embarrassing that I have to tell you that.

Doing Nothing Is Sometimes The Worst Option

Planet Earth: Stick Together or Leaf! 

Save Our Species, OR We're All Fucked

Money is useful, Humanity more so.

Human Suffering + A = Profit 
(where A = Asshole)

Freedom isn't free, but compassion is.

Cram,

discussing the topic taking the article at face value is one thing, but, like Cain said.... this is not necessarily an infallible source here.
writing letters is a definitely a good way of eventually beating down the wrong guy.
has there been the firemen's side of the story told?
or this shopkeep's?

i like the idea though...
and Rat, some of those are pretty good.

yeah, the meme would be less about these specific situations, which are probably tied up in weird reporting,

and more of a wake up call to everybody: "your job is a poor excuse to be dis-compassionate"
