    It’s more than just denied claims. It’s about the entirety of society being turned into a squid game which shits on everyone who’s actually trying to work together instead of competing with each other.

      This! We are told that the best way forward is constantly fighting against each other. That works to make the rich richer, but virtually everyone would have a better life if we just didn’t do it.

    All of the news channels end their stories with, “of course this is not the way to deal with the situation.”

    Ok, then tell us, what is the way? What’s the magic phone number? Who do we have to fuck to get any sort of resolution?

      You had the chance with Bernie Sanders, but you blew it. Removing profit motive from healthcare is the only long term solution, which every single other established country have already done.

        My dude, we voted for him in the primaries, we have his fucking t-shirts, but they rigged it anyways. What are we supposed to do?

          Join a union, organize with a political organization, build support networks, and prepare dual power

          Or do an adventurism

          Maybe they just meant commercial assassinations aren’t the way forward

          I don’t think Burnie could’ve won anyway, he’s too radical for too many in the centre

    The rage was going to go somewhere. Bill Burr isn’t my humor but he’s said the most normal, in line with human behavior things thus far in regards to this occurrence. His analogy between old school mobsters and current corporations is solid too.

    I guess now we just wait for the social contagion, which will likely happen unless the financial squeeze of the masses eases up.

    Scary.
