I have a negative view of health insurance companies. In fact, I have a negative view of corporations, from the local mom-&-pops that underpay their employees and expect long hours, to Amazon. They all suck.
But people who create policies that cause immense loss of life (and cost and destruction) are really asking for ten-plus times the vengeance that actually comes their way.
I'm not interested in that vengeance since it won't solve the problem, but I don't begrudge those who suffer at their hands from wanting to kill them back.
...well let me say here for whoever in the FBI / DOJ might be monitoring: the health insurance industry is a pox on american civilisation and stochastic remediation is the inevitable manifestation of celebrated principles of the declaration of independence...
An evil company was evil. A very understandable thing happened when evil people are killing Americans. Now I'm going to get put on a list for liking a post.
It's like you don't have to do anything besides exist and you get put on a list. I'm sure this won't be used by the new administration to silence dissent.
The more people that express negative sentiment the harder it will be for them to go after people. It's your first amendment right, use it. Don't comply in advance.
I mean, they should be monitoring me because I want to see them toppled and replaced with a democracy, not just because I like seeing rich assholes get assassinated.
Imagine if government resources were spent on applying antitrust laws to stop this abusive situation that literally kills people and ruins lives instead.
In his manifesto, Mangione suggested the health insurance industry had “gotten too powerful, and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allowed them to get away with it.” He could just as easily have been describing the national security state.
That's fun. It does nothing to stop the near-daily in-person conversations with coworkers, friends, and family about this one topic that unites us all. So long as we're beholden to this health insurance system that screws us over at our most vulnerable of times, those conversations aren't going to stop.
The fun part will be when Trump rips apart the alphabet soup intelligence apparatus and displaces much of the senior leadership. Those guys have spent decades building webs of deep and strong connections, and I would be 0% shocked if those guys were able to successfully mount an insurgency against the Trump presidency, and they'll likely take with them the list of dissidents and malcontents to contact.
