They do this all the time. Maybe Biden should call their bluff, execute his powers as Commander in Chief, and order the National Guard in Texas to turn on State Police.

    As a diabetic, I wasn’t able to obtain affordable insulin (which threatens my life), so I hijacked a truck and stole a case. This is clearly morally correct.

    Yes. Stealing what you need to survive—especially when someone keeps it from you solely for profit—is not only morally correct, it is walk-from-an-explosion sunglasses-wearing cool.

        Am I a landlord in this scenario keeping unused housing unavailable for profit?

        Because if that’s the analogy I absolutely condone the seizing of my property to shelter the unhoused.

        Stealing a truck full of artificially expensive medicine is different than removing insulin from someone else’s veins.

          Got it, communism. See you in the gulag, comrade! “All landlords are immoral” is so far removed from mainstream America I don’t even know what to say. Why don’t you shove off to one of those socialist paradises like Cuba if you feel this way?

          Great. Let me know how many beds you will be opening to the homeless.

            Do you think it’s still the 80s and screaming “RED!” can end an argument? Communism is cool and all the kids these days agree.

            “All landlords are immoral” is so far removed from mainstream America I don’t even know what to say.

            lol, no it isn’t.

            Why don’t you shove off to one of those socialist paradises like Cuba if you feel this way?

            How do you know I don’t live in Cuba already?

            Great. Let me know how many beds you will be opening to the homeless.

            When did I say I wasn’t Cuban or was a landlord?

              If you are currently housing a large number of homeless at your residence in Cuba, you have earned my respect. Otherwise you’re just another communist wonk, flailing away at capitalism as you sip your latte and post this on your iPhone.

                Where are you getting that Cuba has homeless people?

                post this on your iPhone.

                You are very intelligent.
