The profit motive should have no place in these three areas: 1) healthcare, 2)reporting the news, and 3)the defense industry. Our world would be an infinitely better place if in those three areas profit were removed from the equation.

I will add to that...housing. Corporate housing has destroyed affordable housing and increased homelessness.

Exactly.. just curious why if 'defense' is so important , why hasn't it been nationalized? Doesnt make sense to not nationalize if a person actually believes in 'defense'. AND!!.. why in the fkk is this not a topic that needs to be discussed thoroughly?

Defense? America hasn't fought a defensive war since 1812.

Would add education as well.

Exactly!! Think how much more human conciousness and civilization would evolve once you took profit out of those 3 things. It would be like shedding the egoistic skin that's holding us back from evolving to the butterfly

It also should not be in the judicial system. For profit-prisons create poor environments for rehabilitation and an incentive to lock people up.

So food, water, housing, education, transportation, telecommunication, & banking are fine for profit motive? Humanity must recognize its trajectory of expansionism & individualism (liberalism) leads to ruin We must collectively work to provide basic needs 2 all w/o profit motive
