  • It’s not that they don’t want to leave; it’s that they know they’d lose their pedestal elsewhere.

    I don’t have the personal experience with them that it sounds like you do, but I’m guessing if this offer were given by, say, New Zealand, at least some of them would take them up on it and do what Cubans in Miami do- pretend they’ve brought Cuba with them and still talk about how they’ll take Cuba back someday. Because New Zealand is not the shithole America is. It’s quite nice.

    I’m sure you’re right overall, but I’m also sure “America is a massive shithole and getting worse by the day” is also a big factor here.

    I really shouldn’t have to point out that Luigi did not fix this problem, but people are still operating under the bizarre impression that assassinating CEOs will fix a systemic healthcare issue and the Trump Administration will do something helpful with the cost of healthcare.

    The fact that this happened and people are still thinking you can assassinate your way out of capitalist healthcare or that CEOs aren’t just as disposable as everyone else in a corporation baffles me. But then people still think Republicans can be voted out of office.

    I want what happened to have changed things for the better. It didn’t. And assassinating five or fifteen more CEOs wouldn’t get Trump to implement socialized medicine either.
