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

[-] Prpl@slrpnk.net 10 points 8 hours ago

Because they are paying them not to.

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.

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

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

Hey! Be honest!

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

[-] samus12345@lemm.ee 25 points 1 day ago

So, government monitoring everyone who isn't rich.

[-] Lennnny@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago

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

👋 I've always wanted to meet my NSA handler

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Well here we go!

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

[-] AppleTea@lemmy.zip 53 points 1 day ago

We already know the NSA is keeping tabs on everyone

[-] unmagical@lemmy.ml 115 points 1 day ago

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

[-] devfuuu@lemmy.world 37 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day 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 day ago* (last edited 1 day 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

[-] jake_jake_jake_@lemmy.world 144 points 1 day ago

they should just say "government monitoring everyone"

[-] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 56 points 1 day ago

Snowden told us over decade ago but here we are

[-] zephorah@lemm.ee 48 points 1 day 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.

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 58 points 1 day 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 day ago

You mean like the president giving pardons to cop killers?

[-] Captainvaqina@sh.itjust.works 35 points 1 day 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.

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 13 points 1 day ago

Unfortunately this chapter is "elect them".

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.

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

[-] onlooker@lemmy.ml 34 points 1 day ago

Well, they have their work cut out for them.

[-] sakuragasaki46@feddit.it 15 points 1 day ago

"negative" in quotes

Monitor deez nuts.

[-] PanArab@lemmy.ml 20 points 1 day ago

So most Americans are being monitored?

[-] zephorah@lemm.ee 21 points 1 day ago

Didn’t Snowden already establish that?

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

Yes, but the government now is admitting to it

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

They admitted it back then, too.

[-] NarrativeBear@lemmy.world 30 points 1 day ago

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

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

Gotta love democracy right?

They should spend their effort fixing the egregious problems

[-] CyberMonkey404@lemmy.ml 20 points 1 day ago

They profit too much to see it as a problem

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

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

Lol what a bunch of A-Holes

[-] sumguyonline@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

They've been monitoring me the better part of my life, at this point I'll fight them to the death if they ever have the nuts to actually show their face. You don't push people as long as they have without severe repercussions.
