No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Yes. I have no sympathy for the CEO but murder is still murder
Is it though? The US still has the death penalty, and the person who commits those killings just gets paid and goes home.
And none of those people of death row are responsible for even a small fraction of the evil private health insurers are capable of.
That's not murder. By definition. Killing does not equal murder
Then he should of already faced the death penalty for the thousands (millions?) of deaths he caused.
You can argue the morality of the situation all you like, but that circumstance doesn't constitute murder. People in the military can kill thousands without legally being a murderer
The laws are designed to allow murdering the poor. That doesn't make it "not murder". When you deny live-saving treatment out of profit considerations, that is both premeditated and killing out of greed. There's two murder criteria right there.
If the laws are designed for the elite, it is very stupid to argue morality based on what's "lawful" and what is illegal.
I wasn't making that argument
Think of it this way. Based on the fact that today far fewer claims are being denied. He might have already saved hundreds of lives.
Out of curiosity, is that true, or just your speculation? Are there public data of number of denials per day?
There was a post here from a pharmacist who noticed claim denials evaporated over night
If true, that's very interesting. A very practical result
