Great!

But also r/OrphanCrushingMashine-material.
- It makes you wonder if that $2b would be better spent lobbying for actual universal healthcare
  
  Do you ever think of the poor shareholders?! You egomaniac!!
  
  But yes, that would probably a lot better. But beggars and choosers and their correlation...there was something. At least it will probably put a band-aid on many debt-ridden US-Americans. For now. Until the next problem.
Good for them!
Wipe out the debt, not the problem that created it in the first place. Very smart. If we held a popular vote for universal healthcare in America we'd have it by next month. If citizens actually got a fair vote in America we wouldn't have these issues to begin with. Every time debt is neglected the value of this house of cards shakes.
City be broke, cutting service for taxpayers
Universal healthcare is the real answer.
