    It was to be expected but I didn’t think it would be public this soon

    I don’t know if I would trust an American who doesn’t have a negative view of the health insurance industry

    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.

    You can try and suppress a revolution, but it will only make it better. And more brutal.

        But Star Wars!

        (Movies about revolution, designed to program us to be terrible, inefficient, failing revolutionaries. In case we ever get ideas. It’s a long game.)

    The desperation to intimidate people is palpable. This won’t work and the 1% will turn to dividing the people along racial and/or national lines.

    What can I say, if it works it works.

        They don’t. I’ve met one person since that useless human got deleted that couldn’t understand why everyone was unsympathetic toward him. The person was very wealthy and has no understanding of how things are for the majority of people in the US. These people are really a lot like the french nobles before the french revolution.

          And there are also tons of people who take the sorta-centrist view that “no matter how bad the corporation’s acts, killing its ceo is wrong!!!” and only view using a gun against a black (now mexican/muslim bubba fetishes as well) ‘robber’ as valid self defense.

            Sure but this person wasn’t one of them. She was born into a wealthy family and has never wanted. for anything. There are plenty of these types around who would probably end themselves if they ever lost it all.

    …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…
