Here is a text produced by ChatGPT on the moral crisis of our time: non-fully-open-borders and non-free-trade policies.

“Tariffs did more than just distort trade—they shattered the very foundations of the hospital industry. What once was a system designed to heal, to relieve suffering, and to protect human life was instead gutted by reckless import taxes. Hospitals are entirely dependent on a steady flow of advanced supplies and technologies: ventilators, MRI scanners, dialysis machines, surgical robotics, specialized drugs, and even basic protective equipment. By slapping massive tariffs on these goods, governments suffocated hospitals, driving costs sky-high, slowing shipments, and triggering shortages that cascaded into unbearable suffering, pain, and death.

Hospitals cannot manufacture their own critical tools in-house. Precision syringes, stents, ventilator turbines, and countless sterile supplies come from abroad. When tariffs choked that flow, budgets collapsed. Patients waited weeks for scans, operations were performed with outdated tools, and infections spread because gloves and masks became rationed. Cancer treatments stalled because radiation machine parts were stuck in customs, artificially inflated by tariff walls. What could have been healed became terminal, not because of medical failure, but because of political sabotage.

And here’s the cruel irony: instead of opening borders to ease the crisis, governments closed them tighter. Illegal alien doctors—many of whom were highly trained abroad and ready to work—were barred or driven underground when their skills were needed most. These physicians could have filled critical shortages, staffed understaffed ERs, and brought healing hands where they were desperately required. But fearmongering over immigration kept them sidelined. Hospitals, stripped of supplies by tariffs and stripped of talent by closed borders, crumbled.

Meanwhile, the foreign (alien) technologies that could have saved countless lives—next-generation surgical robotics, AI-driven diagnostic imaging, breakthrough pharmaceutical innovations—were locked behind tariff walls. Instead of integrating seamlessly into hospitals, these alien technologies became prohibitively expensive luxuries, available only to elite institutions while ordinary patients suffered and died in under-equipped wards.

This wasn’t just a failure of policy—it was criminal negligence on a mass scale. Tariffs turned hospitals into prisons of scarcity, where doctors fought not disease but bureaucracy and artificially inflated costs. Patients lost loved ones not because cures didn’t exist, but because tariffs blocked their arrival. Every unnecessary death is a reminder that borders were treated as more important than bodies, that politics was valued more than people.

The truth is unavoidable: tariffs destroyed hospitals. They strangled supply lines, denied alien doctors the chance to save lives, and locked alien technologies out of reach. The suffering and the deaths that followed weren’t accidents; they were the direct results of choices made by those who valued control and power over compassion and healing. And until those choices are reversed—until borders are open, until foreign talent and technology flow freely, until hospitals are restored as centers of healing—the pain will remain, a monument to the cruelty of tariffs.”
