I was shooting heroin and reading “The Fountainhead” in the front seat of my privately owned police cruiser when a call came in. I put a quarter in the radio to activate it. It was the chief.

L.P.D
N.L.P.D inside-im-crying response from the atlantic [cw: police violence, bigotry, and promoting isntreal bonds]

What I love about this is both of them are correct

The nlpd isn't funny, just incredibly realistic and depressing kitty-cri-texas

And another thing, I'm not mad, I'm going to put in the paper myself that I'm not mad

Wheelshare is an Israeli company too.

Making disabled people contribute to a genocide by existing is too dystopian to be in a novel and yet here we are

[-] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 11 points 8 months ago

I wonder if anti genocide activists in the UK could do something about this, like provide free wheelchairs to people who need them and draw attention to this evil shit

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 10 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I was imagining more smashing of things but that's also cool

And could also supply the free wheelchairs to hand out

Caricature of a country. Completely shameless and soulless parasites.

wheelshare out here doing tropes

Remember back in 2019, when left-leaning folks in the UK were like “the tories want to turn the NHS in to American-style health system”? And then us Americans tried warning them too, explaining how shit our system is because people outside of the US and aren’t familiar with it simply can’t comprehend how bad it is? How we all said Corbyn was the only hope for saving the NHS? Only to have everyone else in the UK say “nahhhh they’d never actually do that”.

How’s that working out for you, UK public?

[-] Lerios@hexbear.net 43 points 8 months ago

to be fair, everyone here loves and values the NHS, even the vast majority of conservative voters. the only question is: do we love the NHS more than we hate immigrants?

the answer is spectactularly predictable doomjak

We are SO close to the Phlip K Dick door that won't let you out without paying it and will argue with you if you try. Someone just needs to add an llm to the wheelchair. torment

Remember the post where cops were stealing wheelchairs of homeless people? This will rollout soon I Amerikkka I just know it.

Well in the US, you'd be given the wheelchair off the bat and then get the brutal invoice later.

Big Hospital doesn't want you to know this, but all the equipment and supplies at a hospital is free.

All you need is a dulled safety vest and a metal clipboard.

This makes me think: there HAVE TO be open-source, affordable, easy to manufacture designs of mobility items, with either off-the-shelf parts or with salvaged materials. Anyone encountered anything like that?

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 32 points 8 months ago

Put a card reader on all the exits. If patients can't afford to leave, put them to work in the kitchens or changing bed pans.

[-] TheDoctor@hexbear.net 30 points 8 months ago

Finally, a solution to the nursing shortage

[-] VILenin@hexbear.net 13 points 8 months ago

And if they’re unable to work we can kill them and use their corpses as fertilizer!

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 12 points 8 months ago

This is a hospital!

Use their body parts as replacements for other patients.

For a fee, of course.

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 31 points 8 months ago

It's an Israeli company too

Just holy fuck how can people be this fucking cartoonishly evil.

Nah i hear its okay, they've got a Labour government now, any second now Czar Kid Starver will rush in and take those wheelchairs away (so unsightly!)

[-] gay_king_prince_charles@hexbear.net 25 points 8 months ago

$2/hr is far too cheap for US healthcare

[-] roux@hexbear.net 24 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

This is dystopian cyberpunk shit lol.

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 16 points 8 months ago

It's neither cyber nor punk though.

The organ rental kiosk is off to the left, out of frame.

Am I allowed to say people should kill themselves on here or will I get banned? Because I think whoever came up with this shit should kill themselves along with whoever approved it. If I'm not allowed to say that, I apologise.

[-] Weedian@hexbear.net 14 points 8 months ago

We got an emoji for it and everything. I'm on mobile so I can't post it but I'm sure someone will below me

porky-happy "See, the really great thing about this system is the Freedom of Choice. Either you choose to pony up the 2 pounds, or you choose to admit that you were always fully capable of crawling on your hands and knee and mangled bloody stump through the hospital and were just trying to be lazy and mooch off of our generosity. So now, nobody is oppressed. Isn't this better?"
