Ever wonder how tight the stranglehold is on California by 4 families since the 1800's???
If you're family is not practicing Nepotism are you fools ?
We all know of powerful families throughout history, be they monarchs or merchant families. Jewish success rate is so high because they look out for each other and help each other out.
I had an argument with Fife & DBTrek about the fact I couldn’t have accomplished the things I have w/o government intervention b/c I had the merit but all the opportunities were locked up thru nepotism & cronyism. They both thought monopolies were just fine. BTW, that’s why I was a Democrat b/c back then Democrats were the champions of merit over money.

Yeah, the question today who is? It literally feels like the only difference between them is who is more in the pocket of Blackrock and their associates.

Monopolies are bad because all regulation of industry favors the dominate force in the industry. Look at Obamacare, Not about Healthcare at all. All about Insurance.
Now that I'm on Medicare, it's exactly like Obamacare. I used to be against the slogan "Medicare for All," but now I'm mostly onboard, maybe entirely? I'd need to hear the arguments against it? (Remember, Obamacare already has all the low-income expense. It would be the expense of including the lower Middle Class. Upper Middle Class & the Rich don't figure into the equation.)

I've already given you the argument against monopolies.
Plus you can look at Canada who now has a full on Euthanasia program
In bringing up Nepotism I was actually thinking closer to home. In expanding circles.
Family, community, state, etc.
The most successful groups do this.
I know for me all charity is local, to people I know or their kids. Where I can choose hiring someone, it's local and someone in my "tribe".
Because Christianitys message is so easily used against this Christian nation we are the only group not allowed to look out for their own people.
We must change that with what we do personally
I grew up Mormon; I think that's what you're talking about? And Jews are even more famous for it.
In the case of getting into college, being able use commercial distribution channels, and having the same job opportunities as other people; that's the nepotism/cronyism I'm talking about. I started my business when places like Home Depot could only be accessed by licensed/union people. I couldn't get bank loans without references (which I didn't have), state colleges allowed students in by merit, not legacy/donor affiliation. There were a lot more private clubs which meant I couldn't join; I couldn't get into the Elks/Moose/Rotary etc. b/c I came from nowhere & had nobody behind me. It was Teddy Roosevelt that made civil service jobs, and hence most jobs, based on merit; before him, everything was nepotism/cronyism.

I don't think you understand how Medicare works? It uses the exact insurance carriers everybody does. It works almost the same as Obamacare except instead of the state paying the premiums, the federal government does. I didn't realize that even though I'm a doctor. (Hospital doctors don't know shit about billing.)
