Too bad they didn't heed his message.

His 30 year projection for their wealth suck only took them 10.

Are you condoning the shooting of the healthcare CEO?

Trust fund baby shoots a father of two who comes from the definition of working class upbringing.

Must kinda suck having that dude as the champion of Marx and Engels here. Worst PR ever.

How is that what you took from that message?

So far, so good.

It wasn't necessarily from that post by you. It was an accumulation of things you've said since the shooting happened that seems to indicate you support the shooting. I don't want to assume, though, so I'm just asking if you condone the shooting or not.

I've already said I don't condone it.

Do I feel sympathetic towards Luigi's motivations? How could you not be?

 

[Irish#1]

Has it been reported whether he was personally and directly affected by an insurance company that didn't pay?

You did say you don't condone it, but your posts are sending a different message.

Who purposely blew up all the risk corridors and safeguards of the ACA on purpose, then bragged about it when he ran for President?

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

He's an Ivy Leaguer whose family owns a bunch of nursing homes.

I'm as sympathetic to Luigi as I am to Kyle Rittenhouse. Zero. They're not heroes.

Analysts and experts said before it got implemented that premiums were going and they did big time.

And purposely wrecking something and then shouting "see, government doesn't work!!" is pretty effective. Big time.

Just in case anyone forgot. I have nothing but admiration for Rubio and everyone who simply have no fucks to give. Mind you, this was 8 years ago. Think of all the fucks not given since then.

"We need to find some pro murder people, let's go down by NYU". LMAO

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

IDK, I'm still kind of a fan of laws and the social contract, but whatever. Let's celebrate murder because we're in a race to be the cuntiest country on Earth.

When I read this I can’t help but think about how the US is the unhealthiest and fattest country on the planet and those are the fucks not given to my rising healthcare costs.

If AI created a person to signify the average American 40 years it would be a hard working person bringing value to his family and country and having a purpose. Now it’s some fat person screaming about needing more food card money holding a Mountain Dew and Doritos while waiting to be seen by their doctor for their diabetes and other illnesses. Those are the fucks not given… people don’t care to bring any value or purpose in life. It used to be I’m alive therefore I serve now it’s I’m alive therefore I deserve. This would also make your argument for being the cuntiest country on the planet.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

Wealth Worship and willful ignorance are major obstacles that have gotten completely out of control. A slow multiple decade crawl that has us on the doorstep of 2025 ready to fuck around and find out.

We're in sometime of "nothing matters" chapter of the American experiment where being openly corrupt, blatantly lying and resorting to murder seem perfectly fine with a swath of citizens that have become so grievanced, cynical and or distrusting of institutions that they just don't care anymore.

And what's really started to take hold is that we no longer trust each other as neighbors and therefore are not taking care of one another.

But sure, the single mothers and people picking avocados have been branded the enemy, so let's deal with that.

So we should all pay more for healthcare because fuck fat people? Sorry I'm trying to keep up here.

I think Judge Kennedy alluded to this in Citizens United.

Why bring Driskell into this?

For the most part, yes. Fuck fat people. I have zero problem saying that. Sure some people might have things they cannot control but the vast vast majority of unhealthy people are by choice… and that’s why insurance is so high. If you want to be the party of “my body my choice” then you need to live with those consequences not me. Fuck them… there are people that are a drain on society and that’s their choice… do you… but don’t count on me to pay for it. Why should I, who goes to the doctor one time per year, be expected to pick up the slack for my fat neighbor that goes to the doctor weekly or needs whatever fat pill he’s on because he chooses to be fat and unhealthy? By all means, be fat. Be unhealthy. Not my problem. No fucks given.

That's not why insurance is high.

I also have an irrational hatred of fat people, mostly because I fear that they might eat me though.

On a serious note, most people are fat due to the modern American lifestyle of ingesting highly processed food combined with inactivity. Most people don’t have time to go to the farmers market daily and spend an hour or more in the gym. The options for fresh, nutritious food are limited (especially in low income neighborhoods) and taking care of a family, and all that entails, leaves little time for exercise.

And also, not everyone can be perfect like you. If only they’d listen to your brilliant advice.

I know this is like asking for the Coke recipe, but do you know of any data that shows the increase in health insurance costs and the increases and where they are attributable? Would be curious to see the split between corporate greed/half baked government solutions/Ohio mediums.

Probably has something to do with putting capital and profit ahead of human life. But tell me more about "All Lives Matter" and being "Pro Life." What would Jesus do? Ask if they were a legal born citizen and charge them a co pay.

When my daughter broke her ankle, we took her to the ER and they didn't do "interventions" for kids so she had to be transferred to a pediatric hospital. We were told she had to be transferred by ambulance. To downtown Chicago. Evidently we couldn't drive her there are ourselves.

You should have seen the bill from the ambulance company.

When you call to speak to someone about the charges, you didn't get a live person. I got my state rep involved and suddenly not only did we hear from someone but we paid a significantly less amount in the end. We are fortunate enough that we were in a position to be able to pay what we paid, and despite what my uncles think at Thanksgiving, I'm not so far out of touch to realize that so many people in this country are not.

I am not suggesting or condoning murder or vigilante justice, but fuck this system and fuck these people.

US obesity has plateaued and may even be receding a bit.

Obesity rate in U.S. adults no longer growing, new CDC data suggests

The latest CDC survey found 4 in 10 adults in the U.S. were obese. A map shows the states with the highest and lowest rates.

www.cbsnews.com

Meanwhile US health insurance companies year over year profits continue to skyrocket. United alone made $22 billion last year.

https://content.naic.org/sites/default/files/industry-analysis-report-2023-health-mid-year.pdf

The two aren't coupled. The US isn't the most obese country anymore yet we spend magnitudes more per capita in health care costs. It's because of the money hungry middlemen sucking profits out of ever nickel people pay into the system.

You’re comparing corporate greed and somehow mixing in Christian’s and Jesus… tell me you hang out with Toronto without telling me you hang out with Toronto.

Yay be proud we aren’t the most obese… 75% of US is overweight.

I had no idea how liquid these entities are, it's obscene lol. They have an incredible capital surplus too, that's just ripe for the picking. Also wtf are they putting $2B in non-admitted assets YoY, basically just parking capital that's not used in core business ops.
