What other country could get away with this you have to wonder. Like if Jordan had done this what would happen? If it was Eritrea? Chad? Would any of them be able to do this with impunity?

Capitalism is frankly completely incompatible with everyone's needs being met. By definition capitalism relies on exploitation.

You say that like capitalism doesn't encourage and incentivize capitalist to warp the government and those markets to their benefit. You can't separate capitalist government from capitalism, they're inherently linked. From the very first emergence of capitalism that has been true. It's a core tenet of the entire system.

I have a little bit of a different take on this. If we're going to kill companies for their crime, which we should cuz apparently they're people and therefore should have to pay for the crimes like people do, why not just kill companies? Instead of pretending a CEO is not just going to be replaced by another CEO with the exact same morals, cuz they all are, let's actually kill the company. Revoke it's corporate charter. Kill the thing that makes it a company. Kill the thing that protects it from retribution. Kill the things that keep all those investors and stockholders who are constantly praying for more and higher numbers safe from consequences.

There is nothing, and I mean nothing, that Israelis Love More than killing Americans. They love it even more than killing Palestinians. When it's a double whammy oh they're over the moon. But being able to kill Americans, which Israel does with shocking regularity, is a joy to them because they're the only country that can do it with absolute impunity. Sure some other countries can sometimes get away with it, but Israel can do it blatantly and with no sense of dread, because they know there is no way America will ever do anything about it.

Not for nothing but Israel has a long history of sending assassination squads and terrorist units into other countries. Not that I think that should stop anybody, but I mean it's got to be a concern right?

Belgium not having a problem with war criminals and genociders is not really a eyebrow raiser is it?

These are our forests. They belong to the US people. They're being stolen from us. For private profit of a few.

Except no, you probably should have read more closely. Yes more votes were counted later, the vast vast majority of them from the West Coast. In the swing States that actually decide the election, not the popular vote, the numbers did not change significantly. If every single voter who voted third party, which again is a stupid thing to assume they all would have voted for her considering the Libertarians were the second largest block, she still would have lost the election.
