gollark: Anyway, I find those "various people die of easily preventable deaths → capitalism bad" things unreasonable. I suspect most people don't actually *care* about random people somewhere dying, given the fact that you can quite easily donate to very effective charities for e.g. helping fix malaria under the existing system, and yet nobody does this.
gollark: There are MANY messages here. Yay for having vast amounts of free time now so I can read them all?
gollark: There is that weird thing in road networks where in certain cases adding additional roads can *worsen* traffic.
gollark: Maybe throw in a free reusable water bottle too, people like those.
gollark: There's no reason you couldn't do both.
