My response isn’t showing because I’m a dipshit: I said:

I’m with you.

I don’t think I meant to delete my comment; I’ve been drinking too.

Musk says Americans will have to face ‘hardship’ if Trump wins

Those criminals would have raised their kids to be criminals, too. It’s good the kids will be taken away to be raised by a system that will [checks notes] orphan them, abuse them, and raise them to be institutionalised. That will totally fix the problems of generational poverty and waste of societal potential, preventing those kids from becoming adults who have to steal food so their own kids can live.

I’ve been in both positions – dirt poor and couldn’t get care, and also decently well-off (not rich) and still couldn’t get care, even with good insurance.

Now I’m destitute, partly because of health care debt, and am struggling to get any care at all. I seriously feel like the system actively wants me to die.

Dysautonomia causing SVT and sinus arrest. I have a loop monitor now and am on heart meds.

e: they wanted to send me home with ‘anxiety’.

got them to resume treatment after they dicked around for a month and he refused to leave because he was going to die if he left.

I had to play this card once, too. I was in the cardiac unit for 28 days, and they were going to send me home because they couldn’t figure out what was wrong, and the insurance decided I wasn’t worth the expense anymore.

I refused to leave until they gave me a diagnosis, because i would have just died otherwise.

Pretty sure the healthcare system still wants that.

Also, it’s possible to be privileged and have your life wrecked by this system.

Just fucking imagine what it’s like to be underprivileged and never have a chance in the first place.

Not in science, you can’t. Only in the colloquial versions of those words.

Kilroy was here.

Yep, saw that. I retracted my links. I am not afraid to say I’m wrong online. Thanks for the correction.

Right, I think I wasn’t clear. I didn’t mean farming karma here, I meant posting here to copy Lemmy comments to post on Reddit to farm karma there.

If you want good karma with top comments that won’t be immediately called out as stolen from another Reddit thread, maybe, since some people have got wise to that? I dunno. I’m probably giving this more brain power than I should (eta because of all the reddit repost bots in my feed lately, probably.)

All social* systems are susceptible to bigotry, and fascistic capitalism most of all.

Labour isn’t perfect by any stretch, but pretending both sides have been equally to blame is just as unfortunate in the UK as it is in the US, Germany, Australia, and Canada. One side may be slow to put your needs to the fore, but make no mistake, the other wants you dead.

It’s been decades, but… you press the button, spin to the station, then release the button?

Am I remembering correctly or should I check into the home now?

Your cat appears to have melted, and your wall outlet has gone italic. You may want to turn down the heat.

The reasons for that, though, are largely because the NHS has been under attack by the right wing for more than a decade. It was a huge inflection point for Brexit, and there’s been a major effort to break it so they can point at how broken it is.

Don’t use the NHS issues to judge how such a system would or should work for trans care. It’s been actively sabotaged.

What? And give up all that power? What reason would he have to go on living if not to inflict misery on everyone else day after day?

There’s probably a paragraph in his will insisting his corpse is propped up on the senate floor until it liquifies, just to increase everyone’s suffering.

Ya don’t say.
