Well, I think the proper analogy would be that it's good for me but bad for my kidneys and colon.

Edit: LOL at the downvotes. It's true. The US is basically mistreating its "undesirables". In the US if you're poor, f** you. Payday loans, food deserts, car dependency, etc, everything is meant to hit you while you're down.

Something bad for your kidneys is bad for you as well, even if you don't notice at the time/don't mind that level of damage.

If the US harms its population, it is harming itself, because -- like every state -- it's at least partially made of its people.

Which seems to be exactly the point of the person you replied to.

Not sure why you're downvoted? I can't think of almost anything that isn't designed to cripple poor or vulnerable people? Health insurance, medicine costs, student loans, etc etc. I never thought about it like this...

My initial version didn't have the edit and I guess people assumed I was being callous.
