<p>>ACA has saved tons of lives.<p>The ACA has killed a whole lot more lives than it has saved by causing healthcare costs to spiral up.<p>If you begin with something that is obviously incorrect and trivially debunkable, perhaps that's indication that you should review your priors.</p>

<p>So you're worried that the shareholders are paying their employees too much?<p>Come on now. You're just upset and lashing out without considering things.<p>Touch grass man. Figure out what you actually want, and support policies that actually achieve it, instead of just going off a knee jerk reaction to people you dislike.</p>

<p>You understand any non-c-suite employee can also purchase equity if they work for a publicly traded company (like spaceX), right?<p>You're complaining that c-suite are being "forced" to own equity, while regular employees get the choice of doing so or not?</p>

<p>>What is profit margin but waste?<p>Compensation for the risks taken and opportunity cost lost by doing this instead of something else.<p>Are you serious?

<p>Thank you for ignoring the request and not providing the simple link i requested.<p>Also, from your own link:<p>>Is It Illegal to Be Homeless<p>>No US law makes the status of being homeless a crime.

<p>I also haven't been a millionaire, but that doesn't mean i don't know how to earn money.<p>Sorry, your appeals to emotion aren't effective, and your arguments do not agree with reality.<p>There is no able bodied person in the US who is unable to save and invest enough of their income to have a decent life. Anyone who tells you otherwise is either lying or ignorant about reality.</p>
