So did they just download the US Census and start from there?
When pretty much everybody is on the list, it's more conspicuous to not be on it.
fuck insurance companies. i hope more CEOs get gunned down in the streets.
Inshallah
So, they're finally admitting that they're monitoring all of us.
What the fuck... Really? Holy shit and what the actual fuck. As example ever heard about Snowden? Chelsea Manning? Assange? Unbelievable wtf
Health Insurance companies are parasites who only exist to cause people misery in exchange for profit so... everyone?
Imagine if government resources were spent on applying antitrust laws to stop this abusive situation that literally kills people and ruins lives instead.
so, like most people who have ever had to attempt to use it combined with those who could only hope to afford it? thats prolly a long list.
So, like 85% of the adult population?
I think it's probably closer to 99%. Basically, anyone who isn't a high-level executive in the health insurance industry.
Hi, FBI agent! How are you doing today?
"Do you have the faintest idea of how little that narrows this down?"
The more people that express negative sentiment the harder it will be for them to go after people. It's your first amendment right, use it. Don't comply in advance.
I hope more die.
I don't know if I would trust an American who doesn't have a negative view of the health insurance industry
So they are monitoring basically everyone.
Openly since the Patriot Act
But anyway don't download RedNote the Chinese censorship is just so terrible...
(Oh he's super popular on that app btw lmao)
In his manifesto, Mangione suggested the health insurance industry had “gotten too powerful, and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allowed them to get away with it.” He could just as easily have been describing the national security state.
Monitoring all nurses, got it.
The health insurance industry needs to be changed significantly as it neither makes care cheaper, more accessible or more available.
Monitor me all you want. Monitor me while you suck my balls.
What are you going to do about it? Nothing.
I have a negative view of health insurance companies. In fact, I have a negative view of corporations, from the local mom-&-pops that underpay their employees and expect long hours, to Amazon. They all suck.
But people who create policies that cause immense loss of life (and cost and destruction) are really asking for ten-plus times the vengeance that actually comes their way.
I'm not interested in that vengeance since it won't solve the problem, but I don't begrudge those who suffer at their hands from wanting to kill them back.
Add me to the list plz. Thx.
An evil company was evil. A very understandable thing happened when evil people are killing Americans. Now I'm going to get put on a list for liking a post.
It's like you don't have to do anything besides exist and you get put on a list. I'm sure this won't be used by the new administration to silence dissent.
That's fun. It does nothing to stop the near-daily in-person conversations with coworkers, friends, and family about this one topic that unites us all. So long as we're beholden to this health insurance system that screws us over at our most vulnerable of times, those conversations aren't going to stop.
The US healthcare system is a massive fucking dumpster fire. There, I typed it.
Hi, I guess?
...well let me say here for whoever in the FBI / DOJ might be monitoring: the health insurance industry is a pox on american civilisation and stochastic remediation is the inevitable manifestation of celebrated principles of the declaration of independence...
That's not news, we knew the NSA was spying on every American a decade ago.
I don't know if it says anything that the caption says "social media posts" but 3 of them are photos of IRL signs/banners, and the other one is an illustration of a sign. And there is no surrounding context, like 9 trillion likes or anything included. If I was writing this report I would have chosen different images to make my point.
But 2 things from that same document, are they accurate?
During his arrest, authorities discovered Mangione was in possession of a three-page handwritten claim of responsibility. In the writings, he made several references to a "parasitic" healthcare system filled with "corruption and greed".
It was three pages?? Were they very small pages or is there more? The "manifesto" that was posted all over the place is very short, not 3 pages.
During the course of the investigation, law enforcement discovered "delay", "deny", and "depose" written in permanent marker on the bullet casings used in the shooting.
It was written in marker? I assumed you'd have to paint it or something. How big are bullets? I just used a fine point Sharpie to write "depose" as small as I can and it isn't legible below about 1 1/8" x 3/8" on a flat piece of paper. Wouldn't is rub off while being shot out of the gun?
