      You know they are always thinking how they can use it to only benefit themselves. Don’t kid yourself on that, they’re leeches and this is their mentality

        Yes, but they want money. So why deny us teeth when they can let us have teeth for money. They can make more selling it to millions of people then a few rich people.

          I can’t say off the top of my head. Power tripping is the best first guess I have. I kinda equate it to anything that could help people live longer. Why don’t they give out insulin at better prices so people live longer and buy more stuff? That’s logically the smarter move, right?

            Are you referring to the US? In the country I live insulin is available for free for those who need it.

            Insurance is why. They can sell insulin at the prices they currently do, and still sell it to millions. Insurance companies can in turn charge more overall as well, pointing at the cost of insulin and the millions who need it as one of the reasons. So it is win win for both the buyer (Insurance) and the seller.

          Happy countries who bear the cost of their peoples’ dental care out of a common bucket will potentially be happy with a way to invest in the future of peoples’ mouths and prevent all the ancillary costs that follow bad oral health.

      good, the class struggle needs more awareness since it affects everyone.

      wanting people to ignore the class struggle makes you something called “a massive asshat” and strongly implicates you as someone who benefits from the status quo.

      You act like it’s a frantic reach to turn arbitrary news into a class struggle.
