None of which I contest. I discussed 2! things.

You are fixating on the first.

I am fixating on the thing that relates to this picture. It seems to me (honestly, I don't mean to come off as an ass) that your 2nd point of discussion is very much my "muddying the water" point. I don't want to discuss that point, as that was totally irrelevant here. If I understood correctly, your 2 points were: (I'm paraphrasing, but) "I don't understand, why showroom owners should let homeless people sleep inside their premises" and "every other economic system besides capitalism also has these qualities"

Right? And I think I have provided arguments against both of these. What am I missing?
