Personnel

gollark: It's not an actual free market or a government system, just some crazy bureaucratic money-wasting mess.
gollark: America's health system is kind of horribly broken.
gollark: If you count "everyone who died but could technically have been saved with more resources given to them", then... well, that is an unreasonable assignment of blame.
gollark: What do you mean "killed over a billion people"?
gollark: You could argue that some of the riches thing is due to stuff other than economic system.
