Ha! They'll take it from the workers AND raise the prices of whatever products they're selling then pass the cost onto us for a tidy bit of extra profit. The leeches have to suck as much blood out of us as possible.

I've been thinking of it like what happened to Nicolai Caucescu. Sure, his death shouldn't have happened and he should have had a trial for his crimes, corruption, and abuses of power; but, Romania came out better afterwards.

It's so weird how they allow January 6th insurrectionists to have GoFundMes with no problems. Very weird indeed.

Here's section 1 in case anyone wants to read it.

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

I contend that most things wrong with America can be attributed to a few people, two of them of Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan. A stupid healthcare system? Nixon. College costing so much? Reagan showed Nixon by doing while California as governor. The war on drugs? Nixon and Reagan. The housing crisis? Reagan's finance sector deregulation. High wealth disparity? Reagan's business regulations.

If you know people in New York and Pennsylvania, tell them to spread the idea of jury nullification.

Right?! They don't need a GoFundMe when just his salary is 3-5 times as much in a single year as I'll make in my lifetime. And he's been making that for years.

I guess that McDonald's is gonna see a sharp decline in customer volume now which is already probably low since it was like 8 bucks for a sausage, egg, and cheese McMuffin meal the last time I went a few months ago.

I can't help but think of the scene from Rush Hour where Chris Tucker's character explains to Jackie Chan's character his theory on big crimes. It was something like 'Follow the rich guy. There's always a rich guy waiting for his slice.' I gotta rewatch it now.

Here's an article from last year to add a little more context.

UnitedHealth uses the algorithm to "prematurely and in bad faith discontinue payment for healthcare services," the complaint said.

"This is an example of how AI is being utilized not to help people but to line the pockets of corporations and their shareholders," Clarkson said.

When these coverage denials are appealed to federal administrative law judges, about 90% are reversed, the complaint said, demonstrating the "blatant inaccuracy" of the algorithm. Only a tiny fraction of patients appeal the denials at all, Clarkson said.

Also, UnitedHealth said they stopped using the algorithm, turns out they just renamed it and are now using it to deny or reduce mental health treatments. How UnitedHealth’s Playbook for Limiting Mental Health Coverage Puts Countless Americans’ Treatment at Risk

The federal judge presiding over the church’s bankruptcy, Meredith Grabill, at one point ruled that the seal on case-related information was so sacrosanct that it could not be lifted even with respect to Hecker and his potential crimes. In reaching that decision, Grabill said she intended to “destroy any [sealed] information that this court received” while litigating the issue about whether Hecker deserved to benefit from the bankruptcy’s secrecy.

What the actual hell is wrong with people?! Let's not forget that the Southern Baptist Church released an incomplete list of its child abusing priests. Incomplete not because they didn't know names, but because it wanted to protect them.

And conservatives say LGBT+ people are groomers and abusers. Never let them forget who the real predators are, where are they more likely to stay hidden and be protected.

Ha! My friend did this yesterday with their new partner who had never seen the movies.
