HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO HATE IT SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR AMERIKKKAN "HEALTH CARE" AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT FOR IT. HATE. HATE.

They should make a Doctor Judy reality TV show where poor people go to a studio set that looks like a real hospital, but the doctor who examines them is actually a chiropractor who got their PhD from the University of American Samoa

A guy is in his hospital bed suffering. Things are about to get worse.

A woman comes in. She's wearing a lab coat and she has a clipboard. She's jaunty. "And how are we today?"

"I don't know how we feel. I feel awful. How do you feel? And who are you?"

"Good-good-good. She turns her clipboard around for a moment to show him "See these highlighted parts?" She turns it back around to face her. She points - "That's your prognosis. "And these..." She points quickly and flips the page. She ends up pointing nine times. "Are the components of your bill."

"Who are you?"

"Do ya know how you can possibly greatly reduce your bill by removing some components? I see here I see here without component deduction that your bill's gonna come to more than one point one mil. That's significant."

"Who are you?"

"You can also possibly get a better prognosis too. If you become eligible - we got a world-renown specialist who can fly in from the Mayo Clinic. No charge to you."

"Who are you?"

"I'm rep for the entertainment division of the hospital."

"The what?"

"The entertainment division of the hospital. I guess I was misinformed and you didn't already know about your opportunity to become part of the reality tv series we are going to be filming..."

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
