My friend, I'll do you a swap. There were mostly children among the 30,000 plus people killed in the Bhopal Disaster. You tell me how a poor 6 year old girl in India is responsible for the freemarket forces which drove Union Carbide to Bhopal seeking low wage workers to exploit. Then show me how the laziness of this child dictated the market incentives which made the cost cutting in safety equipment and procedures desirable. Explain why the responsible people of Dow Chemical and Union Carbide, and the ability of their lawyers to deny and delay just retribution for her, her dead friends and relatives, and the twisted, malformed babies that have exited her chemically ravaged uterus over the last 25 years, is proof that the capitalist system not only works, but is also desirable.
Yeah that whole government and corporations working hand in hand to fuck over the poor really sounds like the free market at work.
