If you thought banking in our time was a miserable racket - which it is, of course, and by 'racket' I mean a criminal enterprise - then so-called health care has it beat by a country mile, with an added layer of sadism and cruelty built into its operations.
Lots of people willingly sign onto mortgages and car loans they wouldn't qualify for in an ethically sound society, but the interest rates and payments are generally spelled out on paper.They know what they're signing on for, even if the contract is reckless and stupid on the parts of both borrower and lender. Pension funds and insurance companies foolishly bought bundled mortgage bonds of this crap concocted in the housing bubble. They did it out of greed and desperation, but a little due diligence would have clued them into the fraud being served up by the likes of Goldman Sachs.
Comment: The jury is still out, but the evidence so far looks compelling. WSJ has some splainin' to do.
Note: H3H3 has taken the video down when the author of the "racist" video in question revealed that it had a Copyright Claim against it, meaning all revenues would have been forwarded to the claimant, and not the video's uploader. In a subsequent video, H3H3 apologize, and provide additional evidence which is just as compelling, i.e. that the claimant only made $12 on the video which the WSJ reporter is claiming showed premium advertisement.
