People commit theft because the barriers / consequences of theft to obtain an item or less than the barriers/consequences of legitimate purchase. It's always a supply and availability issue. Humans aren't intrinsically evil. Also there aren't a bunch of programs to provide free baby supplies. Even WIC requires application but some people might not have the time or ability to go to. And it's not free with WIC, you still have to pay.

Also if you want to talk philosophy, children are too young to consent and be beholden to the social contract. They're participation is mandatory because they are innocent and dependent. It's our obligation to provide for them collectively.

How astute. You're really top of the bell curve.

Read The birth dearth or listen to the video by Jane Elliot.

It's racism.

In their eyes, Minorities tend to be poor and couldn't access abortions if they were legal, but white women? They can. And they want white babies, to increase the white population. But those pesky white women can afford abortions.

Again, capital is extracted from labor. Who do you think built the back hoe? It didn't fall off the back hoe tree. Workers built it, workers designed it. If some capitalist pig didn't own it, then the laborers could just use it.

Add VLC and set up a media server and it's just as convenient as streaming for at home use.

Risk is an idiot's justification. Anyone who owns a business knows the whole point of a limited liability corporation is it removes any risk in case of failure.

If Walmart went tits up today the Walton's would still be rich. It's the workers who bear all the risk.

Where do you think the value for your return on investment comes from? It's extracted from the labor of workers.

Dude why do people think communism means you can't own anything. There's a difference between private and personal properties. You can own a house, and a car, hell even a whole farm. What you cannot do is hold capital.

I stopped using Amazon. It used to fill the niche of "I need this particular thing how" but honestly, 2 day shopping has been a lie for a while. If I need something that bad I can find a store with it. If I need something specific I can order manufacturer direct.

You're still paying for those repairs when you rent, it's just spread out.

Simple. Only individuals can buy single family homes. No renting of single family homes. And remove zoning restrictions to allow for more multifamily units.
