Ah yes, lets directly profit off of peoples suicidality.
What could possibly go wrong?
Nothing screams "we are here to help you!" like draining your wallet.
"Please sir, step away from the ledge! After all, who else will cover your suicide bill! "
Jesus fucking christ.

You realize the incentive that the paying customer doesn't kill himself? Loss of income to the company.
Seems a win-win
I don't think implicitly telling suicidal people that their life is only worth as much as the amount of money they can pay is a winning idea.
Wiping is Fun! ™
There would be an incentive to have repeat "customers". Help them enough, but not so much that they don't need your services any longer.
"In order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must be intolerant of intolerance." Paradox of tolerance
The profit motive is, practically by definition, corruption.
Politicians seeking to use their position to generate wealth beyond their salary? That's taking bribes and using their position to boost their own investments; both are illegal corruption. Why is it "good" when a CEO does the same thing?
The big swing of modern capitalism is pitching that corruption as a "good thing" and definitely what good economics is about. And people barely question that lunacy.
Before anyone slaps back about this, take a moment to recognize that salaries and such aren't "profits". We're not talking about the capacity to gain wealth or make six- or seven- or even eight-figure salaries. We're not talking about the increase in value of shares in a company as that company grows in value. We're talking about the skimming of revenue off the top, in addition to such things.
Also:
"Thank you for calling the suicide hotline. If you would like to pay by Mastercard, press 1. If you would like to pay by Visa, press 2. If you would like us to charge your cell phone provider, Press 3. If we already have your payment preference on file, press 4. At this time we are unable to accept American Express credit cards. If you don't have a way to pay, hang up now and go fucking kill yourself. "
This take is absolutely fucking psychotic lmao.
"Why have Free health resources for at-risk minority groups when we can force them to pay for it instead? Sure folks who can't afford it or minors without an income stream can just fuck off and die but think of the Money!"
The sooner you come to terms with the objective truth that you are a bad person if you vote republican, the better. Texas in general, but this specific thread really exemplifies that.
Lol imagine saying a phone call is financial ruin, like it's some crazy hospital bill...
..u got freaking homeless walking around on the streets with phones..
Hell u got those crossing the borders illegially "we are poor!" But somehow manage to have new phones..
You're just doubling down, aren't you?
Why would you even bring up hospital bills when the reprehensible garbage who do shit like this are the same ones who condemn healthcare reforms as COMMUNISM?
Commodifying people's lives is wrong. Is that so hard to comprehend?
