Gay Marriage is a controversy that is constantly used to to distract people from much bigger problems.
The ruling that had vastly more wide-reaching effects this week is that they upheld the the terrible "Affordable" Care Act. This act is a capitalist abomination of much more well thought-out socialist single-payer plans. Now that health insurance companies have a state granted monopoly, there's no reason to bring prices down or change anything.

It was what was possible - it barely passed as-is, and only via some technical processes that let it slip through Congress - and I think history'll show it to be a first big step towards single-payer. > Now that health insurance companies have a state granted monopoly, there's no reason to bring prices down or change anything. How so? Before the ACA, there were a number of insurance companies that had to compete between each other. After the ACA, there are a number of insurance companies that have to compete between each other. ACA just removed the "I won't buy any and use the ER when I get cancer" option.
