This is a disaster for the CEOs. Homeboy is going to get ended if the jury finds him not guilty.

Find him not guilty, the world celebrates the jury that spared Luigi and he goes onto become a hero. Find him guilty, the world shames the judge that killed Luigi and he goes onto become a martyr.

There's no winning

In siding with the rich and powerful against somewhone who is objectively opposing the rich and powerful, NY's mayor is showing how much of a political battle the trial will be.

Here I am wondering how people afford to shop at Nordstrom while also being annoyed by the consumerism bullshit that is a blight on us all.

Are you saying that only poor people hate consumerism? Rejecting consumerism is an indirect way to gain wealth though frugality.

I mean tbf this isn't directly about consumerism it's about the evil practices of healthcare insurance companies. I'm not sure you'd get nearly as many people agreeing that consumerism is bad.

Homes, medical treatment, and financial stability are all a lot more expensive than bougie consumer products.

And while the average american can usually figure out how evil the oligarchy is, thinking through solutions and actions is a much bigger ask for the average american.

It seems strage. Rich kid gets mad because couldn't get anymore opiates prescribed, plus many other reasons most people agree on. Shoots a even richer person. And now any clothing this guys wears is basically a AD. Then shareholders of said companies get richer. Find his fams stock holdings and bet on what they betting on?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (2 children)

because he couldnt get any more opiates prescribed?

edit: how come every comment you've ever made over the past more-than-a-year have been deleted?

It was over a refusal to fix his back, not give him pills.

How long ago was his back surgery and how long are opiates prescribed? Then there is the whole thing that the Ceo was being investigated for a few things like fraud and insider trading. Wonder if his country club owning family had stock in uhs or affiliated with dead guy. Thats all. Messege will self destruct in....3..2...

Oh I thought you were aware of some fact that I had not heard about but you were just talking out of your ass??

I think that's a really despicable thing to throw speculative bullshit around like you are and while we are just "wondering" out loud I wonder if this has anything to do with how you do not stand by anything you say and delete all your comments.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Seen what supposedly was a after surgery xray of guys back. And yes speculation. Also the ceo being investigated. Internet hearsay

I have one thing from there.

A company branded sweatshirt.

When I got hired they sent me the catalogue and said “pick something”, and I went “surely not, no, this is far too expensive for the one time I’ll wear it..” and they said “you need something for twice yearly meetings with the ceo, so just pick something.. ok?”

And so I got the absolute loudest (that I liked) multicolored zip front hoodie I could find and those bitches paid to have that shit embroidered with a logo nobody cares about or recognizes, and now I have a ridiculous sweatshirt that’s much higher quality than it deserves to be but cost THREE HUNDRED FUCKING FREEDOM DOLLARS, and thus occasionally gets worn even tho I don’t work there anymore.

Holy shit. I can’t imagine being this upset to receive something for free. You must be fun at parties.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago

Yeah I wish I thought this hard about anything neverless a free quality shirt lol

Just because you don't have to pay for something yourself doesn't mean it's not a waste of money.
