Perfect example of the power of language. It’s striking what the article does not say – no mention of (alleged) motive, no mention of health insurance industry practices and United in particular, no mention of Luigi’s impact. Very cop- and prosecutor-friendly piece describing the mechanics of the charges, and treating these events the same way the media treats so much else: episodic, not narrative. This is not an isolated episode, this is tied to larger trends – so where is the mention of those trends and how they impact Luigi’s actions?? Even the parts about his handwritten notes don’t really talk about this!!

Fuck you, leech. YOU do not get to decide what is and is not necessary for a patient. The doctor and patient decide.

Not “coverage”, “affordable coverage”. I don’t want coverage through whatever capitalist exploit insurance company. I want affordable healthcare without lifesucking middlemen

Hmmm I wonder if this has anything to do with the FUCKING ASTRONOMICAL TUITION

Are American bombs in Palestine also justice?

Noooo shit. When will we wake the fuck up and realize that all technology is eventually used against you by the state

Oh there will be explosions alright

Did you read the article? Overall IMO the tone sympathizes with the average person frustrated and fed up with the system on their neck
