I've read through a few of these now, and I still can't figure out what the source/evidence is that has convinced people that visa and MasterCard are responsible for this. That seems to me like a pretty critical detail, but noone has mentioned it.
Oh dude, have you heard of this guy, Donald Trump? He's a master of this move you've just pulled: literally doing the thing you're accusing others of. The irony is delicious.
The gangster who will smash up your store if you don't pay for "insurance" is actually offering "extortion" , because he's creating the problem he's supposedly insuring against. In America, the insanely high cost of medical care, compared to any other developed country, is being created (by lobbying legislators, backroom price negotiations, etc) and maintained by the companies selling the "insurance" against it.
It's extortion, not insurance. At least call it what it is.
You mean doing the math on how a market with limited demand but where almost every man and his dog can start supplying with no overhead is likely to be rapidly saturated?
In places with high rates of intra-male violence---most of the world throughout most of history---your reputation for masculinity protects you from opportunistic attacks. Being perceived as gay can undermine that reputation.
Thank you!!
