It took a couple paragraphs before I realized this wasn’t satire - or at least, the author didn’t intend it that way.<p>By his logic, it’s also “basically just immoral” to have 2 kidneys. Quoting except s&#x2F;dollar&#x2F;kidney&#x2F;: “Because every kidney you have is a kidney you’re not giving to somebody else, the decision to retain extra kidneys is a decision to deprive others.”<p>Per <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.kidney.org&#x2F;news&#x2F;newsroom&#x2F;factsheets&#x2F;Organ-Donation-and-Transplantation-Stats" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.kidney.org&#x2F;news&#x2F;newsroom&#x2F;factsheets&#x2F;Organ-Donati...</a>, “There were 5,538 living donors in 2014.” Everyone else in the US, presumably including the author, is retaining more than they need.

Not at all.<p>However, so many rich people, big cuts in necessary programs, tax cuts, and a majority of Americans struggling economically just does not look good.<p>I&#x27;m not even making a judgement here. I am talking about that struggling majority acting out.<p>Gonna happen.
