Corporations exist solely to seek profit, that is how they are defined in every jurisdiction in which they exist, and, if they fail to do so wi...

Now that the weather has changed, and most of the trauma of the last year has settled, I think I'm finally feeling motivated to work on something again. And, of course, you always have a completely awesome campaign locked in stasis, just waiting to be picked-up again.

I read Irredeemable recently, and thought it was great. Actually, I think a few issues may have come out since I last checked. Gotta look into that. I also read a bit of Astro City, and thought it was decent. I'd read more of that if it was convenient.

The guy seems rather obviously schizophrenic, and I'm fairly good at spotting actors. I could be wrong, but am pretty confident. I also seriously doubt he died, but I'm no doctorologist.

Why does this market deserve special treatment? Because this is a 'market of survival', and, as Marius pointed out, health care is on an uneven need/cost spectrum.
