“Okay, good first attempt. But maybe on this second pass we need to limit the scope a little…”

[-] jake_jake_jake_@lemmy.world 142 points 1 week ago

they should just say "government monitoring everyone"

[-] pennomi@lemmy.world 128 points 1 week ago

If the government thinks health insurance companies are the only systemic failures that drive people to violence, I suspect they will have a rude awakening in the next four years.

[-] NewDark@lemmings.world 59 points 1 week ago

There are an increasing number of radicalizing events continuing to happen and it's only going to ramp up.

[-] Skyrmir@lemmy.world 35 points 1 week ago

You mean like the president giving pardons to cop killers?

[-] Captainvaqina@sh.itjust.works 37 points 1 week ago

And the actual president going full nazi on day 1?

The United States has history lessons for what to do when dealing with nazis.

[-] Vendetta9076@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago

As a non American, on boy what did he do now.

[-] shottymcb@lemm.ee 15 points 1 week ago

Elon Musk did two Nazi salutes in a row at the inauguration

[-] pivot_root@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

Which the crowd cheered for, keep in mind.

[-] zephorah@lemm.ee 15 points 1 week ago

There are people on Lemmy and Reddit trying to gaslight people calling it a nazi salute. It’s sharp, clear, and definitely a nazi salute.

Apartheids child is excited and saluting as such.

[-] Vendetta9076@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

Right, saw that. But he said the president went Nazi day one. Figured Trump had done something as well.

[-] danciestlobster@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

The joke there is that Elon is functionally the real president, since Trump is bought and paid for by him

[-] Arbiter@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago

Let’s pardon every cop killer.

[-] Naia 7 points 1 week ago

So, I think that lost will be so long it's basically "everyone".

For the average person, even among conservatives, nobody likes their health insurance. Even if they've had a good experience with theirs, they know peoe who haven't.

[-] sfxrlz@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Who would’ve thought ? Driving the vast majority of people closer to existential minimum while bezos musk and suckerberg go to mars. Who would’ve thought really.

[-] unmagical@lemmy.ml 108 points 1 week ago

Yeah, didn't Snowden already leak that they were monitoring everyone?

[-] devfuuu@lemmy.world 36 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

People keep getting surprised like they are fish. People are stupid. Most keep saying they have nothing to hide. Let them find out.

[-] Scolding7300@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I think this is an additional watch trigger, perhaps a reminder that yhings that may be considered moral could still get you in trouble

[-] N0body@lemmy.dbzer0.com 49 points 1 week ago

Monitor me and go fuck yourselves. The American health insurance system is evil. Their servants are enablers of evil.

[-] AppleTea@lemmy.zip 48 points 1 week ago

We already know the NSA is keeping tabs on everyone

[-] zephorah@lemm.ee 45 points 1 week ago

That would be almost everyone. I can tell you that most patients I see (mostly) love, like, or are ok with their staff (doctors, nurses, ancillary) while disliking the company, management, etc.

I think, since COVID, the general public is more in tune with how things work. I can hear both patients and family asking, or directly asking me, things like “How many patients does each nurse have?”

That question alone speaks volumes on how well they understand what’s happening. And they won’t, typically, blame the nurse for shitty service, but corporate instead.

Same thing on the clinic end of things. Patients ask how much time each doctor is allowed per patient. Again, that speaks volumes on how well they understand what’s really happening with their care. The rationing of healthcare, not just by monetary coverage, but by trained personnel is understood.

Allowing a doctor only 10-15min per patient such that anyone who is late gets dropped and has to wait another 3 months to get in is working as intended.

Having a nurse take 7 patients such that there is only a few minutes per hour per severely ill patient is working as intended.

Patients and their families are asking the right questions. They understand, these last couple years, how the rationing of car is occurring in person, in addition to the denial of monetary coverage. It is ALL rationing of care.

The difference is whether or not it’s spoken verbally in an office or hospital vs typed out on Lemmy or elsewhere. If they really want to track disgruntlement, they should start recording ED, urgent care, and clinic waiting rooms.

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 43 points 1 week ago

Okay.... That's only the entire country

[-] flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 1 week ago

Hey! Be honest!

It's not only just this country. People outside of this country who hear about it also hate it.

[-] onlooker@lemmy.ml 33 points 1 week ago

Well, they have their work cut out for them.

[-] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 32 points 1 week ago

Monitor deez nuts.

[-] NarrativeBear@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago

Government monitoring individuals that point out negative aspects or their societies/countries

[-] KazuchijouNo@lemy.lol 11 points 1 week ago

Gotta love democracy right?

[-] pHr34kY@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago

You don't engage with them. Don't file complaints. You don't publicly announce your hate for them on social media. Don't "build up to it" with petty crimes.

You keep your nose clean. Go to school. Get a job. Keep your invasive thoughts to yourself. Live a normal life.

Then one day, you can execute a CEO in the street and nobody will be around to stop you. Go straight to a 5-star wanted level and run.

[-] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 1 week ago

They should spend their effort fixing the egregious problems

[-] CyberMonkey404@lemmy.ml 18 points 1 week ago

They profit too much to see it as a problem

[-] davel@lemmy.ml 17 points 1 week ago

Power concedes nothing without a demand. The demands will have to come from a resurgence of labor militancy.

[-] haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com 4 points 1 week ago

You do know that there never has been a globally coordinated general strike, right? :)

[-] montar@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 week ago
[-] Lennnny@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago

It's me, hi, I have negative views of health insurance companies, it's me.

[-] samus12345@lemm.ee 23 points 1 week ago

So, government monitoring everyone who isn't rich.

[-] ef9357@lemmy.sdf.org 22 points 1 week ago

Why aren’t they monitoring billionaires? They’re the ones committing murder on a mass scale.

[-] Prpl@slrpnk.net 12 points 1 week ago

Because they are paying them not to.

[-] nunzilla@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago

👋 I've always wanted to meet my NSA handler

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Well here we go!

So-called "Healthcare" insurance companies are parasites that should be dealt with like we deal with tapeworms.

[-] PanArab@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 week ago

So most Americans are being monitored?

[-] zephorah@lemm.ee 19 points 1 week ago

Didn’t Snowden already establish that?

[-] PanArab@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 week ago

Yes, but the government now is admitting to it

[-] drwho@beehaw.org 4 points 1 week ago

They admitted it back then, too.

[-] sakuragasaki46@feddit.it 14 points 1 week ago

"negative" in quotes

[-] reagansrottencorpse@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 week ago
[-] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago

Your insurance doesn't cover that.

[-] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

With a single picture of the earth taken from space?

[-] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 week ago

Lol what a bunch of A-Holes
