But the US is a f*cking dystopia at this point.
How come the richest country of the world - the model of capitalism - allows so many of their citizens go homeless?
It's mindblowing.
They've got capital, but I'd argue that they're long way from model capitalism since some time. There's both over- (regulatory capture) and under regulation (consumer and environment protection) that goes against this and companies have enough sway to influence the law and consequently the market. Free market in the original sense of "free from all forms of economic privilege, monopolies and artificial scarcities" is not even a goal anymore.
- bodily autonomy; people do have the freedom to sign DNRs, which is death being more free than being alive, as it's about choice
- freedom isn't to do with people giving you things; it's about being able to choose things. It's not "freedom from"; it's "freedom to"
Stupid semantic games. “Freedom to” not die in the streets works just as well.
