Rich people only consider other rich people people.

I say this to all working class people that vote Conservative.

[–] cRazi_man@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

The majority of people seem to think of themselves as just one lucky break away from being filthy rich.

no cameras during training

implying you'll be on camera the entire time you work after training. don't just treat their customers like garbage, that apparently extends to their employees too (not that i'm suprised tbf)

btw, the NHS in the UK offers a cautionary tale. Once it was a beacon of universal care. But look at how the decades of privatization have chipped away at its promise. Even now, UK workers defend it against the creeping tide of market logic, which has not ceased under Starmer because warfare matters more than healthcare to them.

It's absolutely clear: systems run for the many must remain in the hands of the many. This fight really requires worker control—why should administrators and profiteers dictate care when the expertise and needs of frontline medical workers and patients could lead?

Even if a mass movement for universal healthcare is born and somehow the government with both parties being virtually on the insurance profiteers' payslip somehow concedes, it will be immediately subject to sabotage.

And then the billionaire media would point a finger at the alleged inefficiency of "public services", all while it is implemented in a way where it isn't at the expense of

  • the military-industrial complex
  • the wealth of the mega-rich and their corporations' profits

so if not that, then it'd be financed at the expense of the already ballooning public debt, which would then be paid in austerity.

If universal healthcare is to succeed in the U.S., it must be accompanied by bold economic realignments: ending absurd military expenditures, expropriating billionaires and putting critical industries under public and worker control. Otherwise, the promise of care for all will collapse under the weight of contradictions, and the media will be more than happy to point fingers at "socialist inefficiency" while the real culprits—corporate greed and the war machine—walk away unscathed.

I made a giant collection of screenshots from Facebook of people who got denied coverage by them.

fbclid = facebook client id

Always delete this and everything after it, when you see it on an url.

It looks like this:

?fbclid=[ VERY LONG ID ]

I would be skeptical of this, I haven't been able to find a source for it and most of its seems written in a way that creates the strongest emotional reaction in laypeople who don't know much about health insurance or chemo (e.g: me)

[–] Oka@sopuli.xyz 1 points 7 months ago

Yeah, this seems fake. A person with a doctorate would use stronger language than "you poopy buttheads". They likely just googled the founder of chemo and called it good.
