Ration by market works because there is no "moral compass." The "Moral compass " of many folks is pretty badly broken, and is their normal self interest sort of makes a huge amount of electronic interference with it.
to get slammed by fate is one thing, to get slammed by a person whose "moral compass" is backwards or badly calibrated it something else again.
Bullshit.
Each person was slammed by fate (the disease). However the abscence of a moral compass in the market system means that people DIE because nobody is caring for them. That doesn't mean the morality of the tragedy disappears, merely that people excuse it because if they are poor, well its ok that they die a horrible death.
What's fascinating to me is that the cons are so selective as to which "moral compass" to defend or kick to the curb as insignificant. I could bring up several analogies, but that would change the topic matter, so I'll leave it to the imagination which of those I'm talking about.
