I... You could argue that as violating two of the bioethical concepts that doctors and the like gotta follow. First, autonomy. Of course, the hospital would argue that the patient was going through a psychotic episode, and that they can't make "informed decisions". Which I would think is a load of bs in most cases, and besides, people typically have to want treatment for it to have a positive effect. Otherwise it's imprisoning someone, and then asking them to pay you for it. Second, non-maleficence. Again, forcibly admitting someone into a hospital is NOT good for their psyche, no matter the hospital's intentions.

@m136dalie

@@dazeyndrowsy Generally forced admissions are reserved exclusively for people who are an immediate threat to others or themselves. Best example is the schizophrenic patient going on a psychotic rampage who will get others and themselves killed unless given treatment. That's how it's usually justified. What's not justified though is forcing that same schizophrenic patient a bill for tens of thousands of dollars that they'll probably never able to pay back.

Especially when those villains don't care about the consequences of good or bad actions. Villains are different because they only care about the short term goals and singularly minded ideologies that they follow, with other aspects not being important to them. The Government usually isn't *attempting* to commit atrocious acts, but often do so while trying to create a sustainable system they won't have to worry about, then it gets so deeply rooted into society that it can't be easily changed without tons of legal fallout. So yeah, if anyone can write a villain that is somehow more dastardly than a group of extremely varied people who are going on gut impulses on what will work and what won't, I'd love to see it.

I think that is a perfect incapsulation of general democratic policy, identity politics, but they'll back some regressive policies in a heartbeat to protect capital. You can invite all minorities and disenfranchised groups to the table as long as they agree to protect capital.

"Something pure like the us educational system!" Hoooo boy, I never studied, barely turned in any homework, was disruptive in a class, and felt like going to that school was a waste of time so I ditched school almost every day for 2 months just to hang out with my friends who graduated the year before me, I still graduated. The high school diploma feels worthless.

I’d love to see them address the failure that is the Baltimore City public school system without immediately mentioning “racism.” Baltimore is a dump because the people there have the expectation that “someone else” should educate their kids, provide free food and welfare checks, give them some sort of “reparations” because someone else was enslaved, and pretty much tackle all of the responsibilities in their lives so that they’re not responsible for anything.

Given that Eggman has a vast knowledge of robotics and seemingly infinite resources to make them, he could probably just solve most problems with cybernetics.

@bluecanine3374

Or the fact that he can create robots with AI close enough to mimic a level of humanity and handle complex tasks that require human interaction. He could just have an army of robot nurses to do the more routine parts of patient care. Move patients, clean them up, start IVs, administer meds, monitor vitals, handle requests, etc.

It’s funny how Eggman isn’t trying to use a giant lazer to take lives like in SA 2 when the US health system can do it at a much faster rate.

Kudos to Shadow for just pointing out the problems...we might be in a better place if more people did that, pointing where to start in cleaning up this mess rather than diving into their own prescriptions...
