    I think what your missing is that the trolley problem here isn’t an allegory for the US health care system. This trolley problem is entirely unrelated, and the victims are pleading their case for harm mitigation… Until it gets hijacked by a greedy CEO trying to bribe out of it. The self sacrifice the other two on his track is not symbolic of anything other than the generally growing hatred and resentment toward the billionaire class. It could be any CEO there. The health insurance one is just the currently relevant one.





  • The alternative is not failing the logistics skill check you’re ostensibly supposed to be good at as a manager. If you’re in such dire straits as a business that you cannot possibly approve PTO, your problem will not be fixed firing the employee who at least did you the courtesy of warning you that they wouldn’t be available that day.

    Just because you haven’t personally gotten an egregiously wrong answer doesn’t meant it won’t give one, which means you have to check anyway. Google’s AI famously recommended adding glue to your pizza to make the cheese more stringy. Just a couple of weeks ago I got blatantly wrong information about quitting SSRIs with its source links directly contradicting it’s confidently stated conclusion. I had to spend EXTRA time researching just to make sure I wasn’t being gaslit.





  • Counterpoint: During the polar vortex everyone was told that staying outside in the -40 or lower temperatures for more than five minutes risked frost bite. I worked 2nd shift so I was getting out dead of night at the coldest time, walking to the back of the lot to a car covered in a sheet of ice that simply did not allow me to even open the door to physically start it. That’s a 4-5 minute walk already to a car that I can’t open, who knows how long to chip away ice I can’t see, sometimes can’t even reach leading to struggling with the door using brute force trying to get leverage standing on icy pavement just to FINALLY enter my car, which is still -40 inside.

    Or I could have had remote start and skipped the potentially lost fingers. Thank goodness I had coworkers who started staying behind to help those that didn’t.
