Hmm, that is a bug... we disallow editing of deleted posts, but that's an unintended consequence. I'll bring that to Frans' attention.![]()

I can't remember the exact quote from Milton Friedman, but it goes something like this:
"It is not the fault of the corporations offering too low salaries, or the rich, or the lack of jobs if people are in need. People need to have more compassion and give to one another."

Btw, I try to edit my comment below... And I can't because it says you can't edit a comment that has been deleted...
Bug? Because as of trying to edit it, it isn't deleted. But it does contain the deleted Cutter comment.
Anyway, the part I was trying to edit is the Friedman quote, he was talking about neighbors helping each other.

I cannot wait until compassion for your fellow citizens becomes policy, and the government we pay to work for us actually begins working for us instead of the corporations for a change. I, too, am tired of throwing away my money in the form of taxes and getting literally nothing in return. Thank you for finally taking a sane and measured stance on something, Cutter. I'm glad we finally agree on something.![]()

I love the idea that the US has anything approaching left-wing politics.
