United Health CEO

And when YOU come down with some debilitating illness that you cannot afford due to lack of healthcare insurance, who picks up the tab?

Seems rather selfish to me.
Why is it called "insurance" anyway? Insurance is, for example, you own a Rolls-Royce, you want to have some coverage in case it is damaged, so you buy an automobile policy. If you can afford a Rolls, you can afford the policy.

But medical bills aren't like that. You can be an unemployed labourer with not a penny in the bank and still (even if you never touched a drop of alcohol in your life) need a liver transplant!

Excellent point for explaining the need for single payer like the rest of the civilized world.
 
They can now do those full body scans and shit that tell you if you’re going to lose your tits to cancer, etc.

Insurance should therefore be able to give more precise Rates.
they tried that here in Murica for almost 75 years (roughly 1940-2015). The same insurance companies chased the same healthiest individuals, coming up with roadblocks like "pre-existing conditions" to prevent paying for medical care.

The ACA ("Obamacare") changed the rating classes used by insurance companies to exactly TWO - smoking and non-smoking. Not perfect but a vast improvement over what used to be "legal".

"Selfish" is another word that's been bastardized in recent history... Self should come first. Taking care of one's self, is the ONLY thing that will facilitate helping others, which I've done generously throughout my life.
It's as simple concept.
 
It’s clear he intends on putting the system on trial. He is not insane. He has been inculcated, groomed as it were, into hate by Social Media, the anonymity of the keyboard and the shift from the top-down, the DOE and the Teaching Campuses, the shift from America the Great, the beacon of liberty and opportunity to the negative, Reverend Wright, history of the new continent as told by Howard Zinn; the other side of the coin, every dark thing ever done, every injustice and an indictment of systemic oppression coupled with a profound lack of economic acumen which fosters and encourages such cartoon notions as wealth envy and the need for class conflict to emerge. The worker and the employer are not an organic being, but rather a politicized entity at war with itself long after the gains of the Labor Movement were codified into law. Look at how we were encouraged to hate The Fascists.

His view of life was also warped by the religion and culture of abortion, an implied approval of hedonism, and the endless glorification of violence 24/7 in the name of selling advertisements. It was meaningless, a video game.

He is not crazy, he is lucid, intelligent and used to structured solutions to complex problems and he reached the logical solution and like Alexander, he went straight for the Gordian Knot of the main focus of public angst after, or maybe even before, inflation: the frustrations of trying to deal with the Byzantine structure of our health care system. His education and natural inclination made him a detailed planner in acting out what needed to be done in his mind and, I admit, I was wrong on one point, he wanted to be taken alive, and he is going to put the system on trial and he has a following and it is going to metastasize.

On one hand, there is a festering anger that led to the reelection of President Trump and now has expectations that have to be met, and there is going to be a demand for more conservative approaches and as the metaphorical Neo grows stronger, his counter, Agent Smith, the anti-conservative element of every society, is going to grow ever more virulent.

As I have said before, even before this thread, the shooting, the race wars and gender wars are over and done. It is an ebbing tide that will still lap at the beach, but it is receding. This in not aberration or symptom any longer, it is predictable outcome.
 
Putting the system on trail? You know, with Alvin Bragg as the prosecutor he just might get away with it.

He needs a save and this did cross my mind: he might be that indoctrinated/inculcated and tone-def, or maybe Affirmative Action smart, that he thinks the same people that just exonerated Penny are in the mood to let a murderer off the hook.
 
One thing clearly explains his familiarity with the weapon, he printed it (kept it), which puts the knee-jerk gun opposition in a tough spot since their ire is always directed at others, as in the right, and the oft-fetished AR15 platform from the 60s.

Not only does this tie-in with wealth envy, but now the fear of tech and maybe even, a bit futuristic, but AI's ability to arm itself. I confess. That last little bit was merely for my own amusement as I mused in the morning over my tea.

The way this message was delivered is one which has sent waves over the surface of our cultural gestalt. Piranha boil beneath the surface as dissatisfaction over malaise, corruption and institutional rot become the intellectual food of the school.
 
I laughed my ass off when I saw this. It's Lit coloring outside the lines for sure. Posters popping up all over NYC. Which one of you did this. :ROFLMAO:

The only link between Pelosi and Mangione in that story is this:

“Nancy Pelosi’s family and the Mangiones share roots in Maryland. Luigi’s cousin, Nino Mangione, serves in the Maryland House of Delegates.”

They are have family roots in Maryland? 😆 That’s a serious link!!

Where do you find these moronic articles? Is there a site called “News for Gullible Imbeciles” that consolidates the articles for you? 😆
So did the story claim otherwise?

News for Gullible Imbeciles” is exactly what you've been listening to and guided by for the last four years. It why you were wrong about Trump, the election, Kamala, et al, over the same period.
 
The Convicted Former President-Elect and Deemed Commander in Chief is Time’s Man of the Year, a reflection of what is boiling up through through public gestalt and erupting in various ways. Constituents in Chicago lecturing their city officials over their spending, crime and immigration priorities (sanctuary–always victims over citizens: government by Altruism and ANY-ISM), the Mayor of NYC crying uncle, people telling Senators, knock off the games. An Ua Lava moment. Enough! The people have had their fill of the corrupt Leviathan running and ruining their lives through the power of micromanagement from Washington DC. The people are tired of being told how to behave and what simple prejudices they must swallow because any discrimination in taste has become an affront to the culture warriors, culminations in the ludicrous spectacle of men beating up women. UA LAVA!

This is an acknowledgement for one of the fingernails of the elite class that it understands the Mountain-Sea Change.

The bitter clingers had better wake up and realize that the day of reckoning has arrived.

Ua LAVA.
