So the question (which probably ought not to have Marx's name tagged to it) simply concerns a chat among fellow leftists about how people in their situation can have a trifle better chance of surviving at least until dementia sets in and medicaid takes over. And the first question emphasized the "ethics" of the topic. I argued at the time that there was no ethics to it. That is, that (leaving aside organized boycotts) progressive politics placed no constraints on how one spent or saved one's money. There would be no _political_ or _ethical_ constraint in investing in Shell, in investing in a napalm manufacturer, in shopping at Wal-Mart or Naiman-Marcus, etc etc. (Assuming no organized boycotts, which one honors.)
