    Or you’ll get more communist when you have people to protect, like children or friends who start getting sick now that they’re not young anymore

      I became a socialist because I was an “essential employee” during the height of the pandemic. I was treated like shit by my company, the customers, and the government while they sung my praise. I watched my grandpa get good cancer treatment with the VA (shocker, I know, but it happens) while my sister and grandma had to fight insurance for cancer treatment.

      We can’t make a perfect world, but we can make a better one. And it starts with a socialist economy.
