I don't know if I would trust an American who doesn't have a negative view of the health insurance industry

[-] collapse_already@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 day ago

Addressing the problem with increased surveillance and beefed up security for executives is not addressing the problem. It's exacerbating it.

[-] Triasha@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

Really the people should be monitoring insurance industry executives more often.

For safety.

[-] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

So literally fucking everyone

[-] octopus_ink@lemmy.ml 17 points 1 day ago

Something something monitor deez nuts.

[-] uriel238 31 points 2 days ago

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.

I wish the Health Insurance companies a fourth layer of hell.

[-] aldalire@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 day ago

Everyone post their favorite bounty posters!!

“You will have your bad healthcare system, and you will LIKE it!”

[-] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago

The beatings will continue until the morale improves.

[-] mdurell@lemmy.world 52 points 2 days ago

So they are monitoring basically everyone.

[-] GlendatheGayWitch@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago

Openly since the Patriot Act

[-] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.one 16 points 2 days ago

Sooooo, most people.

[-] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 14 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

The desperation to intimidate people is palpable. This won't work and the 1% will turn to dividing the people along racial and/or national lines.

What can I say, if it works it works.

[-] myrrh@ttrpg.network 22 points 2 days ago

...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...

[-] DontTreadOnBigfoot@lemmy.world 239 points 3 days ago

So did they just download the US Census and start from there?

[-] thespcicifcocean@lemmy.world 130 points 2 days ago

fuck insurance companies. i hope more CEOs get gunned down in the streets.

It was to be expected but I didn't think it would be public this soon

[-] bokherif@lemmy.world 62 points 2 days ago

Government is monitoring everyone? Color me shocked

The health insurance industry needs to be changed significantly as it neither makes care cheaper, more accessible or more available.

So, like 85% of the adult population?

[-] Curious_Canid@lemmy.ca 39 points 2 days ago

I think it's probably closer to 99%. Basically, anyone who isn't a high-level executive in the health insurance industry.

You can try and suppress a revolution, but it will only make it better. And more brutal.

[-] prole 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Except for all of those other times when the revolts were successfully suppressed....

Lol... I mean seriously dude?

[-] x00z@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

I meant that it just comes back later.

[-] big_fat_fluffy@leminal.space 5 points 1 day ago

But Star Wars!

(Movies about revolution, designed to program us to be terrible, inefficient, failing revolutionaries. In case we ever get ideas. It's a long game.)

[-] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 1 points 1 day ago

That seems unlikely to me tbh, even an inept revolution can be dangerous to a government, and that would require a level of government control over media and long term planning that would be nigh impossible to use without the common person being somewhat aware of it. Id suspect it's more something like celebrating revolutionaries being part of the US's "founding myth" so to speak, and a lot of movies being made here. Having your heroes be rebels is an easy way to tell the audience theyre "the good guys" in such a culture.

[-] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 9 points 2 days ago

I would like to be on your list

[-] Vorticity@lemmy.world 110 points 3 days ago

So, they're finally admitting that they're monitoring all of us.

They can't monitor everyone. With AI they think they can, that's our biggest advantage

Health Insurance companies are parasites who only exist to cause people misery in exchange for profit so... everyone?

[-] DicJacobus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

the misery will continue until tolerance and acceptance is achieved

[-] negativeyoda@lemmy.world 24 points 2 days ago

We're gonna need a bigger surveillance apparatus

[-] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

Leaked image of their new detection system:

It puts out a green ball whenever someone has unkind thoughts about health insurance companies

[-] Kitathalla@lemy.lol 2 points 1 day ago

Add in something linking the balls, and you have an infinite anal bead producer! Production will be through the ~~sphincter~~roof!

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.

Thanks for the heads up IQ nilly.

[-] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago

The US healthcare system is a massive fucking dumpster fire. There, I typed it.

[-] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 86 points 3 days ago

Imagine if government resources were spent on applying antitrust laws to stop this abusive situation that literally kills people and ruins lives instead.

[-] WeUnite@lemm.ee 61 points 2 days ago

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.

[-] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago

No shit, the NSA was already monitoring everybody to begin with.

"Do you have the faintest idea of how little that narrows this down?"

[-] _cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 2 days ago

I mean, they should be monitoring me because I want to see them toppled and replaced with a democracy, not just because I like seeing rich assholes get assassinated.

[-] mjsaber 34 points 2 days ago

Monitoring all nurses, got it.

[-] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Go ahead fuckers. If I didn’t have so much to lose I’d go take out one of those fucks myself
