    So you’re saying posting angry guillotine threats didn’t actually fix our healthcare system? Was it just armchair revolutionaries impotently blowing off steam and acting badass? Wow, that’s a head scratcher.

      Just the start of violence. Same way colombine was the first school shooting. Just takes worse material conditions. Something trump and the Republicans seem hell bent on.

          I mean there’s school shootings that go all the way back to the 50s. It’s not necessarily a new thing but Columbine is just really well known. Other Executives have died too assassination attacks like this but none so publicly. That’s all I was trying to get at.

    Optum bought the local clinic and so far my wife’s rheumatologist and nephrologist both have left.

    Can’t wait to see where this will lead.

      Do you know where they have left to? I wonder where Medical Doctors consider better places.

        I live in the PNW, my doctor retired. Multicare, instead of just transferring my wife and I to different doctors, did nothing, and now are treating us, did nothing.

        We are being treated as new patients and the earliest a new patient can be seen is October 29th. Yes, 9 months away.

        The earliest date I have been givenrom any of the other doctors offices I have called was June.

        The joke used to be whenever anybody asked why their area had so few doctors was that they doctors all were in Seattle. Yeah, maybe, but they certainly aren’t seeing anybody in a timely manner.

        I hope they come back to Canada, we could really use a couple here. We don’t pay as much, but at least you won’t have to tell a patient they can’t afford life saving care… (yet)

      And the 2A is to allow the working class to take out their frustrations on other working class members and commit more harshly punished crimes to allow for longer sentences in the slave factories.

        The amount of shit i took on reddit and thought it was normal… i‘m sober for around two years now and it feels very good. Abusive relationships are an insane thing. We dont understand when it happens, especially when we are born into it.

        I‘m kinda sad for all the non milennials who didnt grow up with „the matrix“. That movie aged like fine milk.

          Even though I made a new account… two new accounts. One of them had a three day ban before I deleted it. I decided to make another one (using a temp email of course) just for porn and some niche interests of mine. With my second one that only has a warning I will not repeat how netenyahu and Elon deserve to be arrested and executed for their crimes.

          And apparently simply calling for the imprisonment of Elong’s fucking infant squad for very obvious crimes is apparently a call for violence! Well then I guess wanting armed robbers to be jailed is also glorification of violence!

    no no no… it’s not like you’re not allowed to kill poors. cops do it all the time. so do corporations. and president’s. and civilians too, one just got released for killing a homeless person around the time Luigi was arrested for allegedly shooting a corporate demon, according to unsubstantiated rumors.

    corporations are people, my friend; poors are not.

        Yes, you’re certainly free to do so, you’ll only need to wait until our parent runs out (whoops, we made a meaningless adjustment to the formula and got the patent extended), spend huge buckets of money getting your production chain up to the spec of the regulatory agency that we captured, get contracts with the pharmacy benefit managers (whoops, we gave them totally cool and legal kickbacks), and then when you start making money, we’ll just drop our price until we bankrupt you, buy up the scraps, and make sure nobody else can recover anything from the ashes.

      I know what you mean, but comments like yours always make me feel sad. Like, what is justice in this context? A just world would be one in which their son is still alive. Justice died with him.

      My own experience of litigating an injustice sticks with me. No amount of compensation can ever undo a wrong that should’ve never been allowed to happen.
