I'm not american (thankfully). But if I were, and I had a terminal illness, I'd suicide bomb a health insurance headquarters on my way out. Because fuck it...I'm dead anyway.

    Greedy old fucks are the reason we are in this mess.

    Capitalism is the reason we’re in this mess, and it incentivizes greed the same to everybody, regardless of age, race, or creed. Blaming any group besides the oligarchs just serves the oligarchs, and weakens the possibility we can change anything.

    it seems to be a generational thing. that generation which is old now isnt radicalized like some of the younger folks will be by that age.

    Boomers are a bunch of coddled pussies that had the softest easy mode lives handed to them. They were pandered to as a generation and pulled the ladders up behind them at every step of the way. I hoped that as they died off as a voting block we would finally be able to make real progress as a society,. But the sociopaths they put in power know that they'll never win on policy, and so fascism and putting an end to democracy is their only way to avoid consequences for their crimes.

    The thought crossed my mind more than once when I was struggling for diagnosis as a very sick person and fighting insurance every step of the way.

    Cigna or the SSA, though? Decisions, decisions.
