So let me get this straight, we finally get an American pope, and some of the America first crowd is mad because he cares about the poor and immigrants. Am i missing something here?
nothing to really say about this except what everybody else is saying.
it certainly demonstrates why privatizing the more dangerous aspects of government is a terrible idea. this would obviously be exponentially more true during an era when "maximizing shareholders' profits" functions as a valid excuse to do all kinds of horrible shit.
it DOES feel like these "come to Jesus" moments are occurring under increasingly serious conditions.

I have absolutely no idea what such action might consist of, but it needs to figured out VERY QUICKLY.
