I mean, to be completely honest, it was a relief that it wasn’t children or random innocent adults getting gunned down this time.
Ffs the police rarely get the right house when busting someone’s door down and shoot the “wrong suspect” all the time. This guy shot his intended target and hurt no one else. He’s not only less evil than health care CEOs, he’s less evil and more competent than the police.
As citizens we can respectfully request the ACLU and NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund to get involved to ensure his human rights aren’t violated and he stays safe.
It’ll be harder for bad things to happen to him with non corrupt watch dog agencies keeping and eye on things and hopefully showing up in person to see he’s okay.
Might as well empower the few agencies who have our backs while we’re at it. Attention to prison reform is a good thing that can grow out of this too.
Edit - adding the aclu website link with the contact us page. I’m pretty sure we have to select Pennsylvania and contact the branch closest to Luigi.
Fox news is saying people are supporting him because he’s handsome and we’re all a bunch of shallow morons.
Completely leaving out the fact that that CEO and others like him make decisions everyday to let people suffer and/or die for profit. To buy more yachts or whatever the fuck excessively affluent people do with money. Wipe their ass with it? Use the money from dead cancer patients who hit their lifetime maximum coverage to delicately pat their hemorrhoids clean maybe?
The media is trying so hard to spin this I hope they all get carpal tunnel from typing out all those half truths and outright lies. Then they have their claims for quality of life giving surgery denied. Then maybe they’ll get it.
Just a nothing statement from the pentagon with a click bait title. It was a waste of internet space honestly.
I’ll save you a Google… the pentagon doesn’t know what ufos are.
We can’t let the media take the narrative back and let them do a smear campaign on this person who might not even be the shooter. He’s a suspect.
This ceo shooting broke the proverbial spell where what the population was actually saying wasn’t being guided or swayed by the news.
We need to keep the steam up on the media pushback. All those savage, snarky comments and memes left on every news article, fb post, tweet… they got overwhelmed by us. That needs to keep happening so they can’t go back to distracting and brainwashing people with fear and politics while they scapegoat this guy and try to make an example of him to the rest of us plebs.
They already tried to distract us with aliens and Diddy because people won’t stop saying how much they hate insurance companies. Keep voicing your discontent where ever they leave an open comment box. Please do it. Not only is it cathartic, but it upsets the oligarchs and everytime you upset an oligarch someone’s insurance is less likely to deny their claim.
If private schools are going to exist they should have a minimum curriculum actually enforced so that students attending them aren’t put at a disadvantage.
For example, sex education should be required as part of health and human biology. Not it’s own separate, needlessly controversial thing.
Many private schools are religious and refuse to teach certain topics, or replace them with nonsense and it hurts their students.
But also don’t give them tax money. They rake it with their excessive tuition already.
I just want to add to the conversation and bring forward the fact that health insurance corporations give millions to both parties during election cycles and continuously lobby for a system that allows them to do what they are currently doing.
The people in the government aren’t just writing laws that allow health insurance companies to do whatever they want for shits and giggles. They’re convinced. Either by pressure campaigns done by their lobbyists or they just straight up use bribes. It’s seriously fucked up, and when I think corruption can’t get worse I learn something new and find out it already is far worse than I ever imagined.
That’s actually an ethical use of AI. People shouldn’t have to write untrue nice things about reprehensible individuals just because they died. That’s gotta cause some sort of weird psychological damage.
That has to be one of the most depraved and appalling things I’ve ever read. I just got a piece of mail from cigna telling me to sign up for their supplemental insurance before something terrible happens to me.
I think I’ll use it to curse their CEO and lackeys instead. I don’t know if that shit works, but it might offer some catharsis after finding out they deny epileptic children with cancer treatment and are baffled when parents “freak out.” Seriously, those inhuman husks can eat shit and choke.
Compost them away from crops and use on ornamentals and pollinator plants only. Don’t want lead contamination!
Not if more people go looking for that info now just because it’s been taken away.
People on the internet are like cats, as soon as you close a door the cat wants to be on the other side. CEO’s try to hide and people want to know who they are more than ever.
Maybe they wouldn’t be so scared if they hadn’t lived such horrifically unethical lives.
I assume those people are trolls of the contrarian category.
People are too thrilled to be upset by trolling attempts about the topic. That’s actually impressive.
Dyes come in different permanence, but some colors like to stick around for longer. For example pthalo based dyes(or paints even) likes to stain everything and have a tendency to leech into places you don’t want them. Yellow dyes tend to fade from UV exposure very easily. I have no idea what’s in that green dye, but holy shit I hope it’s not carcinogenic.
Also certain psych meds can cause weight gain that is incredibly hard to lose if the person needs to stay on it to remain stable.
I can see ozempic helping those folks, especially since meds like abilify can increase the risk of developing diabetes. It’s a shitty side effect, one that doctors seem to shrug off, but it really matters to the patients and it often really bothers them.
Honestly, I’m glad that guy is dead, and if that makes me a bad person I guess I’ll just have to live with that.
Hard to feel bad when a Machiavellian asshole like that actually suffers consequences. Sucks that he was immune to consequences from the legal system with all that money. If that wasn’t the case he might still be alive to go to jail.
Fair enough! That’s really good to know. I’ll stick to using it externally for my skin in the winter, unless there’s better options out there and I’ve been misinformed about that too. Actually, I’m gonna go double check that right now
I was a pack a day smoker, and a 2000 hit vape cart will last me almost a week.
I smoke a lot less. If I just wanted one drag of a cig I’d end up smoking all of it. Now I take one hit off my vape put it back and I’m good for a few hours.
It’s interesting how vaping changes people’s smoking habits. I’ve been experimenting with substituting nicotine gum for the vape here and there. Hoping my body will accept that after awhile and I can stop vaping, then quit the gum with regular gum. It seems like a bunch of extra steps, but it’s working so far
What about coconut oil? Or is that one of those weird ones where it depends?
I think healthy skepticism when it comes to the government is good. Especially if people want transparency. Holding them accountable for abuses is even better, but has been less than ideal in practice over the years.
Unfortunately, people tend to skip healthy skepticism and dive right into conspiracy driven paranoid delusions, and lack of government accountability does feed into that mindset. Combine that with Maga propaganda, fox News, and other extremist media and we’ve got a shit show.
We can also blame the DEA for putting massive amounts of pressure on hospitals and drs for NOT doing these tests, even if circumstances didn’t allow, or wasnt a priority(emergency c sections for example)
So the hospital breaks the protocol you laid out for us otherwise the DEA can come in and audit the hospital and if they don’t like what they find, like missing drug tests, they can take doctors liscences to practice and drag that hospital through the dirt. It’s fucked up how much power they have and how detrimental they’ve become to healthcare.
My doctor is forced to drug test me because of a medication I take. The last time she did it she apologized and said the DEA was auditing them this month and she had no choice. Those drug tests are like $500 if you don’t have insurance, and a lot of private insurances won’t cover it. If they won’t I have to sign a paper saying I’ll pay for it. If I don’t do this I don’t get life giving medications for a neurological disorder I was born with.
DEA mandated drug tests are unethical and provide very little benefit… if any at all. It just makes every patient feel like a criminal. Let doctors use their best judgment. It’s better than the alternative… which is this.
