I would call 4 flowers hardly a 'bouquet' :D

Exactly. Same here. I only see Reddit via Google searches.

Both definitions of free market (because regulations are never watertight), and the current system, result in the same current oligopily. So okay, maybe you can argue the semantics, the point remains: shouting for 'free market' does not solve the inherent, systemic issue of our current situation.

No, every single person would be a 'thousandaire'.

383,000,000,000 divided by 335,000,000 is 1,143 dollars per person.

Oh, can you imagine a filibuster by Bill? Move over 'roasts' and specials, just tune in on Cspan!

10 billion? I can't see how someone realistically would needs more than 10 million, but okay, let's set the limit to 500 million. A ridiculous amount of money.

But 10 billion? That's an unspendable amount.

(And to think we will see trillionaires (1,000,000x million) in our lifetime...)

A lot of text, but I am missing your point I think. Is it "he without sin cast the first stone"? That's a bit of a moot point, since that means noone can ever criticize the current system. So...

They won't, because greed doesn't get punished. Even worse, the law protects money. And the sociopaths/narcissists/psychos are the ones getting rich (of course) and the don't have empathy, care, or believe in 'fair'.

Well, the current system is unsustainable. See history. So if you don't care now, somewhere in the future you will. You can't keep ignoring the problem hoping it goes away.

Capitalism = free market. Unfortunately. The current system works perfectly. It is not sustainable and the rich get corrupted more and more, but that's capitalism for ya.

Fair? What's that? That doesn't exist in nature or in greedy man. Fair is a societal construct. Paper beats rock, money beats fair.

Good to hear that you know your options and what to do/eat. Do you use water/bidet instead op TP? And yes, surgery is annoying with the weeks healing after the procedure. Good luck in any case!

Your username weirdly checks out...

And on a side note: there are a lot of ways to cure/alleviate piles. What are your weapons of choice?
