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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Columbine wasn't the first. And Luke Woodham would like a word with you.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

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.

A direct consequence of Trump's rolling back Biden policies?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No, because they are much more rich.

This is where visa doesn't help. We need Luigi in this case.

I hope those parents find justice. With their son gone there's no telling what might happen. I hope the ceo chokes on his toast.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Justice means whatever the parents see it as I guess.

No and united plans to go after people that talk negatively about them

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 month ago

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.

Seems like terrorism to me...

Real change isn't going to happen until a few more get Luigi'd

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

"few" is really unscientific. everyone knows for an experiment to yield reliable results you need a representative sample size. and then repeat the experiment to see if it gives the same result. only then you can be confident.

I'm honestly hoping that the next time someone gets so tired of these mass murdering dick heads, that enough lessons have been learned from Luigi's situation that the entire populous turns into Johnny tightlips, and the feds can't find them.

I swear that Luigi would have lived a long, happy life if not for that one person who called him in.

Fuck McDonalds!

The laws are written and enforced for the benefit of the rich. Not yours.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

The system is working as designed.

It's not designed to help you, but it's working as it was designed to work.

Not just men's. It's unisex! E for Everyone!

Culls for profit are actually cool and encouraged.

Why, you can't read it?

Remember denying health care for profit is a noble cause that is should be celebrated in our capitalistic hellhole.

Praise be to the shareholder!

Line is risen

You have "access" to health care, and that should be enough for you peasants.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Hey, if anybody can use it (as long as they can pay) then it's Public. (This is actually a frequently used definition of Public in Britain)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Access is granted, right up until you need to make a claim. As long as you're paying them and not the other way around, your access will remain granted.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

Yes, my Liege. We shall be happy with the "access" to health care.
