@Logically_JC You asked "who the hell asked for this". Doctors supporting the medical industrial complex, that's who. It wouldn't happen if we trusted people to care for themselves.
@oldstatemark "The people" mostly don't have the hardware necessary for such a task, so it boils down to the military deciding to do a coup. Pretty common actually. May or may not be an improvement.
@Logically_JC Gas and oil prices could be fixed. The price we are paying doesn't reflect domestic supply and demand, it reflects international. There's no reason we should be paying international rates when we produce most of it here.
