    It’s a capitalist corporation that sold its soul to the highest bidder. Of course it’s evil. It’s based on greed and exploitation.

      Billionaire bad?? How could this be!!? I was told whenever two parties entered into a voluntary agreement it meant both of them mutually improved their situation and that if you got billions out of it, it meant by definition that you did a lot of good!

        Here’s a gun to your head, now, it would be beneficial to you to hand over your wallet m’kay?

        No bullet in your brain, more cash in my hand, both parties benefit! See how that works?

        Oh, you have a lump growing in your thyroid, mmmm… that is bad. We can cut that out for you and most people we do that to live a lot longer, but first we need you to mortgage your home and give us the proceeds. See how that works?

          Gun to the head is exactly why the word “voluntary” is specified

          But yes, you could eventually say “I did not consent to be born please arrest my mom”

          In that case, you can also solve your examole choice by gun grabbing ans shooting the guy if he lets you take it.

            Ah, but that wouldn’t be mutually beneficial, would it?

            Also, this didn’t take long:

            Some federal employees who accepted Trump’s buyout offer are now being notified that their buyout has been denied, and they are being terminated instead.
