All you have to do is take a look at hospitals in NYC to know how wrong you are and right the person you responded to is.

Holy shit won't someone please think of the gastropubs. This is why I'll never believe this is a good faith concern for the people that really need our concern right now: no one ever says "I know a delivery driver" or "I know a busboy" or "I know a janitor" that needs help. It's always some lifestyle business owner that we should be weeping for in these outcries.

Would you speak like this to me in real life?

of course i would. would you like to setup a call so i can tell you to your face in real life how absolutely morally repugnant and completely facile your ideas are?

You're never going to persuade anyone with that attitude.

i don't care i'm not a politician. people like you get away with spouting nonsense because no one ever shames them for it (they've always gotten the benefit of the doubt about their intelligence). i'm a firm believer in shaming people for their stupidity when it affects others. you have zero stake in this mr webdev and you should at least be forced to ante up your ego. so i don't care if you're persuaded, only that next time you'll think twice about opening your mouth because you expect everyone will just politely disagree with you.
