I'm a capitalist.

Do you work for a living? If so, then you aren't part of the capitalist class.

You just described the for-profit mental health crisis which only persists because it is for-profit healthcare is detached from reality

Accident also requires that you are making a good faith attempt to prevent said accident

Until we figure out a way to separate political power from wealth, I fear that all forms of wealth disparity will create power disparities that can and will eventually be abused to dismantle democracy.

I often think everyone should be an organ donor by default and have to opt out rather than opt in, but Jesus, stories like this make me reconsider.

Sort of like how it is illegal for companies to fire or mistreat workers for trying to unionize?

The uncomfortable truth is that our laws protect the rich (including their companies), but rarely bind them and bind workers, but rarely protect us.

The mentality that the future is always someone else's problem is proving to be the biggest weakness of capitalism and our species.

Publically traded companies only exist because capitalists willed it so. Capitalism will always seek the path to greatest profits for the capitalist class with little to no regard for the consequences of that

The US only have right wing parties. Neolib dems and fascist Repubs are both right wing parties.

It is exciting to see Honda enter the EV market to help crush fascist Musk and his Teslas.

The Prologue is listed as an SUV, but by US standards is leans towards being a stationwagon crossover. I rather see an actual stationwagon, but as far as SUVs go this could be worse.

80% seems too high, but the US Surgeon General declared a loneliness epidemic https://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/surgeon-general-social-connection-advisory.pdf

And Gallup claims that 29% of Americans have been diagnosed with depression at one point: https://news.gallup.com/poll/505745/depression-rates-reach-new-highs.aspx

So... That is not good. It is almost like humans evolved to live in tight knit, walkable communities.
