Nothing to see here, move along or we’ll shoot you, no big whoop, OK?

The insurer that has been paying for her son’s therapy, UnitedHealthcare, has begun — to the befuddlement of his clinical team — denying him the hours they say he requires to maintain his progress. Inside the insurance conglomerate, the nation’s largest and most profitable, the slashing of care to children like Benji does have a reason, though it has little to do with their needs. It is part of a secret internal cost-cutting campaign that targets a growing financial burden for the company: the treatment of thousands of children with autism across the country.

This company is the most disgusting of scum. It’s truly hard to comprehend.

As soon as you’re born, they make you feel small By giving you no time instead of it all Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all

A working class hero is something to be

They hurt you at home, and they hit you at school They hate you if you’re clever, and they despise a fool Till you’re so fucking crazy, you can’t follow their rules

A working class hero is something to be

When they’ve tortured and scared you for twenty-odd years Then they expect you to pick a career When you can’t really function, you’re so full of fear

A working class hero is something to be

Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV And you think you’re so clever and classless and free But you’re still fucking peasants as far as I can see

A working class hero is something to be

There’s room at the top they are telling you still But first you must learn how to smile as you kill If you want to be like the folks on the hill

A working class hero is something to be

If you want to be a hero well just follow me

This is how we finally achieve single payer healthcare in the US in the stupidest possible way and I wouldn’t bet against it this point: The Aetnited CigShield Corp!

In my pocket I carry a library of Alexandria, an infinite Walk-man, a camera and a camcorder with effectively infinite film, a personal navigator… You get the idea, the list goes on. 80s me would have thought this was impossible, even if I am a bit disappointed about the flying car and hoverboard situation.

Oh sure, we pay a LOT compared to other places, but at least our telecom security is top notch… (Big ole /s, in case someone may not have heard about the SALT Typhoon stuff yet)

I didn’t say you condoned his words. I took issue with your mischaracterization of my using his words in kind, as a rhetorical device. Have a good night.

Great, so we don’t need to do the whole paradox of tolerance thing then, yeah? Saying that it would be a shame if this guy’s own words came back to haunt him seems pretty fine to me.

Gimme a break. It’s literally his own words…

Be a real shame if he somehow learned the implications of “Your body, my choice” from the other perspective while in detention…

Canada Man is an absolute king! Florida Man, you better start taking notes.

Holy shit, it’s shareware from way back when. Free to try, but do a ritual and pay us a tithe when you’re ready to really commit and until then please still share us with all your friends. It’s free, after all!

Black Friday sales are crazy sometimes

This is a “Be the change you want to see” kind of thing, for me

We pay so much for our mobile plans though… Where does all that money go? Why is our infrastructure so far behind Europe? Very strange. I wonder if any C-Suites for these companies have any ideas?

Well. At least we know where American Auschwitz will be located.

Oh. My. God. I am so disappointed in myself that I never realized these words were all related before. Thank you for this gift.

And legally immune from anything the SC will twist reality to call an “official act”! He, and the people that funded his ascendancy, have a plan

This is a wonderful explainer, thank you!

Probably, but they aren’t required to
