91. Any country that nationalized oil
had the United States attempt to overthrow its elected government. American oil companies have done enough damage to the world. Maybe if we nationalized oil energy prices would take fewer dollars out of the economy. The same goes for health care. Upper management in energy and health care have been lowering living standards for the vast majority since the inception of both.
Just mention nationalizing anything and the right wing media echo chamber always starts wailing and hand wringing in the name of freedom, but always offers the same solutions: unfettered free markets and tax cuts for the wealthy.
They don't seem to have a problem with military mercenaries roaming the street of America either.
The conflicting thoughts colliding in their heads qualifies them for housing, food and clothing at a government institution, and just for laughs, some electro shock therapy too.
