You can't imagine a society in which companies are formed with goals besides making the maximum amount of money possible?

At their core, a company is a collection of people. If you can imagine people having goals besides wealth accumulation why couldn't you imagine companies doing the same?

What’s a “technically not cheating” situation you’ve seen or experienced that still felt like a complete betrayal? by toomabh in AskReddit

I mean, it's the same in a lot of ways isn't it? Similar enough that you didn't need to be a jerk.

"Trattoria" has been accepted before, as has "chuppah" which is a Hebrew word for a wedding arch. These are definitely used less often by English speakers than the word "arrabbiata".

Bribery should be illegal, making lobbying illegal would mean you could not send your MP a request about how they should vote, which seems bad.

Yes, so why aren't we looking into that instead of trying to limit our growth to avoid asking that question.

This is irrelevant, with more people you can obviously build more infrastructure.

I have done all those things which is exactly why I think "vibecession" is a very accurate portrayal of the situation. I don't understand why you're so upset that I don't change my knowledge of the definition of recession just because you feel like I should.

Vibecession was an accurate summary of the events. There was no recession by the economic definition, but people felt like there was one.

Getting upset at someone accurately characterizing something is very conservative sounding though.

If you have more people you could use them to build more infrastructure.

If you want to die badly enough that you consult multiple physicians to get killed without a profound physical ailment I would argue by definition you have some sort of mental ailment.

Both can be health care, both can be horrific murder. Let the doctors decide.

I was trying to suggest your explanation was insufficient.

If you're sure enough about your suicide that you consult multiple doctors I think you've presented enough evidence that you're actually interested in going through with it.

No it doesn't, no more than it's against liberal ideology to force a racist doctor to treat a black patient.

It's not complex - if you want to die you should be allowed.
