luigi did nothing wrong
This but unironically. Luigi Magione wasn’t the shooter.
No he was Oklahoma at the time. We were walking in the park talking about the latest video games at the time. I am willing to testify to that fact.
For real he isn’t the shooter never was.
He did nothing wrong, and even if he did murder the executive, he still did nothing morally wrong all things considered.
It was self-defence of the people.
Violence shouldn’t be the answer, but sometimes it just is the answer.
I am Luigi.
We are Luigi.
We are all Luigi on this accursed day!
This is why I am a fan of the work of the Four Thieves Vinegar collective. they are making instructions on how to make at home versions of some of the most critical chemicals and medicines.
This is fantastic and I need to learn more. I would love to be a part of something like this. I always think about medicine, specifically to fight infection, in a world that you can’t just go get it at a pharmacy.
Thanks for sharing this, I hadn’t heard of it.
This has been a fun ride for us, husband was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer end of last year. Met the max oop for our plan very quickly and have everything on the minimum payment plan. Things reset in July and we returned from vacation (needed our son to have some normalcy) to a $1300 bill for his first chemo treatment in the new cycle. We asked if the oncology office will work with us so we’ll see what comes of that. It’s exhausting and I don’t know how people without insurance survive (although the current system is an absolute joke).
People without insurance die, even from easily preventable things. Then it bogs down the entire health care system because this small thing festers or gets worse. The person is taken to the ED, sometimes by EMS, using up resources. Then they spend hours in the ED being treated and using up hospital resources. Some go home, some have to be admitted taking up a bed and using more hospital resources.
Then, depending on the issue they could die. I’d want to throw in other options like SNF, ALF, LTC, or Rehab facility, but that requires insurance authorization or money, something people without insurance don’t have.
So no instead of using tax payer money to give people health care and get preventative treatment, we spend significantly more tax payer money on EMS and hospital resources.
The same argument, which has been tested and validated, can be said about it being cheaper to give the homeless a free small apartment.
How is this a first world country exactly?
It’s a mystery how the US belongs to a select group of contries with homongous GDP but lower life expectancy.
Inequality is like some of the worst developing world countries
Inequality is soaring, with the 1% scooping up ever-larger shares of global wealth. These days, the US has a Gini coefficient – the most common international measurement of inequality – on a par with slave-owning Ancient Rome. Maternal mortality rates for American millennials are three times higher than those of their parents’ generation
Why is the US dollar always worth less than the pound and the euro, if it’s this great functioning economy? I’ve never been able to work that one out.
Because 1 apple isn’t equal to 1 banana.
Because the actual number doesn’t matter, only the change trajectory.
Put it differently: A water melon costs more than a dollar. Still, a water melon doesn’t have a great functioning economy.
That’s why people really ought to be taught basic economics before being let out to frolic in the wild.
And also the pill costs nothing to make
it’s literally meth with speed and can be bought for $10 at any corner in the “bad part of town”.
I really wonder exactly how many office towers are there full of people whose sole job is to deny healthcare claims. Think about if we paid those people to do something actually productive instead. This is the waste of for profit healthcare.
At this point those departments are now a bunch of AI and algorithms. That way no pesky emotions or ethics get in the way.
TIHI.
Health Insurance in America.
Thanks for the responses. Even before his situation, the insurance industry was always a point of contention with us and I never hesitate to get on my soapbox to argue my disdain for everything. The lack of empathy from this country is sickening and unfortunately as my husband says we’re now stuck.
