What’s wrong with the other 3/10?
If this is the same poll that I saw a few days ago just being reported by another outlet, then the biggest headline should be that 11% put literally 0% of the fault on the shooter. Absolutely none.
That’s 1.2 people per jury who even when presented with a shooter would say they bear no responsibility for the death.
The ideal outcome from this would be comprehensive health care reform in the US, probably including single-payer health care for all Americans. Neither major party will support it and even though a majority of Americans support it, they don’t know how to use the democratic system to get it. All of the republican party and 75 percent of Democrats will take health industry money to preserve the status quo. The few progressive Democrats who actually attempt to take this on will have to fight most of their own party, and they can never win that way. Americans are also rather easily distracted.
Unfortunately the most likely outcome of this whole thing is, within a small margin of error, nothing.
Nah, this is going to blow up. Luigi will be in the news pretty much weekly for the next 18-24 months. This is just starting to roll.
I wonder if he’s willing to keep going hard and tank his own defense.
If he was, and his lawyers were willing and able, I still don’t know what it would look like. Maybe maneuver some kind of disclosures that wouldn’t otherwise be available. But that was suppose to be the case with Ghizlane Maxwell too and look how it turned out.
In terms of broad social effects, Shinzo Abe is the only example to look at that I’m aware of.
There’s no disclosure that will matter. What would that be? That health insurance companies did their best to avoid paying out claims they knew to be legitimate? That they delayed coverage of medical produceres hoping the patient would just die before they had to pay? All of that is literally what they’re supposed to do. That’s their purpose. They maximized shareholder value by doing those things. Their CEOs got bonuses by doing those things.
Private for-profit insurance is inherently parasitic. Every dollar they earn in revenue is literally just inefficiency in health care spending, and they are directly incentized to maximize those dollars.
The health insurance industry itself needs to be destroyed, or at least shrunken massively. A huge number of Americans, even many who claim to want single-payer health insurance, will oppose political movement in that direction.
Roll into what? People are willing to read, and bitch online. Occasionally, you might get them to vote. Nothing will happen beyond that.
Bet you’re the same person who would say the shooter would never happen!
You gotta leave some time for the crowd to do their thing my dude ;)
Until this is resolved, lives are likely to keep ending…
If you know what I mean 😉
I know. People will keep getting their healthcare denied by for profit corporations. :(
Remember remember!
The 4th of December
A CEO dies all alone;
On the street he was lain,
cold, pale and in pain,
thousands of deaths that he own.
The decisions he’d struck,
Layers removed from the slaughter,
Were a shareholder’s treat,
Your dead mother or daughter.
Those investors all wait, on that cold winter morn,
Still unawares of profit potential they’d mourn,
Poking at hotel breakfast, bored looks on their face
As was Brian’s when he denied and delayed at great pace
Endless growth, deposed, on behalf of us all
Luigi didn’t do it, we were hiking in Nepal.
I assume the other 3 are in elementary school and don’t understand the concepts yet?
