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.

"Govts in capitalist societies are but committees of the rich to manage the affairs of the capitalist class"(James Connolly 1880=1916)It is going totake far more than words to break the long standing (escalating)cycle of unbridled systemic corruption/avarice

If for no other reason than the results. Healthcare costs are double per person with fewer covered effectively. The news is "oligarchy approved" b/c they own it. The defense industry creates their own wars to sell weapons. It's the money, lebowski, it's the money.
