Look, I get it that it's cool to rag on a company for being cheap and short sighted but this toilet paper is not bought to save money. They know you use more. It's bought because thin toilet paper breaks down quickly in water, meaning rather than needing a plumber to wrestle your turd nest out of the pipes with a snake, they can hang an out of order sign on the stall for a shift and try flushing again once the "toilet paper" has completely dissolved.

It's not complicated but it's also not sexism. When women begin entering a job market the supply of labor suddenly doubles but the demand stays the same there for the price of that labor goes down.

People commit theft because the barriers / consequences of theft to obtain an item or less than the barriers/consequences of legitimate purchase. It's always a supply and availability issue. Humans aren't intrinsically evil. Also there aren't a bunch of programs to provide free baby supplies. Even WIC requires application but some people might not have the time or ability to go to. And it's not free with WIC, you still have to pay.

Also if you want to talk philosophy, children are too young to consent and be beholden to the social contract. They're participation is mandatory because they are innocent and dependent. It's our obligation to provide for them collectively.

How astute. You're really top of the bell curve.

Read The birth dearth or listen to the video by Jane Elliot.

It's racism.

In their eyes, Minorities tend to be poor and couldn't access abortions if they were legal, but white women? They can. And they want white babies, to increase the white population. But those pesky white women can afford abortions.

Again, capital is extracted from labor. Who do you think built the back hoe? It didn't fall off the back hoe tree. Workers built it, workers designed it. If some capitalist pig didn't own it, then the laborers could just use it.

Add VLC and set up a media server and it's just as convenient as streaming for at home use.

Risk is an idiot's justification. Anyone who owns a business knows the whole point of a limited liability corporation is it removes any risk in case of failure.

If Walmart went tits up today the Walton's would still be rich. It's the workers who bear all the risk.

Where do you think the value for your return on investment comes from? It's extracted from the labor of workers.
