You do not have that right.

What about hog farmers? Is there a limit to how much they should get to pollute?

I don't know how much hog farmers pollute. It's a business that stinks. What stinks even more are the oil companies. We extract 90 million barrels of oil out of the earth's crust every single day. It pollutes when we extract it, it pollutes when we transport it, and it pollutes when we use it. And to add insult to injury, the oil money ends up financing terrorism, and the world has to spend $trillions fighting it. It's stupidity beyond belief.

We agree on that. Hog farming also has lots of externalized costs. Other people pay those costs. Pollution controls would raise the price of pork a bit. That wouldn't be such a bad thing. It's cheap as fuck, and people eat plenty of meat.

Don't like Capitalism because of your misguided views, than move in with Kim Un in North Korea and enjoy your communism Dan.

Only dumb asses think that communism and capitalism are the only choices. That is literally one-dimensional thinking.

Accepting capitalism is stating that people should not be rewarded for wealth production but rather for bargaining power. It's clearly a stupid mechanism. You are literally stating that people should not get to keep the fruits of their own labor, and that parasites who produce nothing should get that fruit instead.
