I'm curious about the ethical implications of having a medical system in which the level of your debt obligation is determined by how effectively you negotiate with the billing department.

Baldwin's 1960s perspective was necessarily one of self-defense.
A 21st Century ethical perspective might be:
"We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in the oppression of others and the denial of their humanity and their right to exist."
We can't debate hate.

There might be something to what you say, but not all martyrs are created equal. This is the POST OFFICE -- the only US agency that sends someone to your door every day! If you can contain this guy from doing harm, & make sure the operations run well, there's no downside to keeping him.

Would you prefer Biden fire him and make him a MAGA martyr?
Leave him free to tell lies on Fox News about Dems firing him so they can use the mail to steal elections?
As long as he stays, Dems are immune to claims they are cheating through the mail.
Keeping him and containing him is the smart move.

MAGA feeds on martyrs.
Better to keep him there and CONTAIN him, rather than push him out.
Fire him & he'll be on Fox News tomorrow and in Congress the next day making crazy claims about Dems using the mail to steal elections.
Keeping him is the safe thing to do -- and the smart thing to do.

How can we make the most of Twitter's blue check disaster here?
How can we encourage Twitter's top blue check accounts to come over to Spoutible?
Spoutible still upholds Twitter's original principle of using the blue check to prevent fraudulent misuse of corporate & celebrity identities.

Hitler got all his white supremacist theories from British and American authors.
His demotion of Jews to second-class citizenship status was based on the US South's Jim Crow laws.
His plan to starve Ukraine and repopulate it with Germans was inspired by the US genocide of Native Americans.

GOP uses irrationality to achieve rational goals. By inspiring fear in religious people with authoritarian mindsets, they lead wage-earners to vote by their prejudices instead of their economic interests.
GOP policies like tax cuts for the wealthy are impossible to pass any other way.

Notice how often GOP fear-mongering draws images of disgust for authoritarian minds. Immigrants, minorities & urban centers are all said to be filthy. Trans people using toilets, porn in children's books, etc.
GOP wants working people to feel disgust just thinking about Democrats & their policies.

Serious answer:
Authoritarianism & pedophilia go together like peanut butter & jelly.
If you get pleasure from dominating others, no one is easier to dominate than children taught by authoritarian parents that they must always submit to authority.
Google "youth pastor arrested."

GOPers are VERY rational. They do the bidding of the powerful to get a share of that power. But to satisfy their masters, GOPers must rule autocratically, not govern democratically. So they frighten their base with God, guns, racism & homophobia, because fear makes people tribal & submissive.

For Politico he wrote an attack on US involvement in Syria, while accepting Russia's "legitimate" interests there. The Kremlin has something on him. He's a chaos agent who aids our enemy by attacking US institutions & undermining democracy. Among a handful of famous people who have gone this way.
