People die to shootings: "People have died! Nows not the time for politics."
I don't like that logic there, and this is exactly the same. It's always the time for politics, because when people are engaged is the best time to change their minds.
Because "Time to socialize the losses " is definitely a well thought out statement designed to start a constructive conversation and not just a plain old ignorant statement.
It's an accurate assessment of the system we have here in the US. We privatize the gains, and socialize the losses. Not the original commenter's fault that they can recognize a stacked deck.
