    Good luck with that.

    I’m happy for Finland. They won civilization again this year. The world happiness index. The scientific measure of the happiness of the citizens of a society.

    Which should be the entire point.

    Of civilization and society I mean. Of everything we toil for. Maximize human happiness for the most humans possible. Full stop.

    We choose to make ourselves miserable subsisting under avarice diseased sociopaths who themselves can never be satiated or therefore happy. And we call what we toil for… freedom? What a con-job.

    Why take pride in not only losing civilization, but playing the wrong fucking sport altogether? It’s embarrassing to be associated with. I’m with stupid as in my nation state.








  • Well shit, with all the neoconfederates muttering about the confederacy rising again for over a century, I didn’t expect the Nazis to pull out a surprise victory.

    Guess that’s what happens when a nation worships something as hollow as money and greed and not the wellbeing of society and its people.



  • I voted neoliberal out of harm reduction least worst of two horrible, corpo bribe drowned options as usual. Feeling dirty to avoid feeling filthy.

    Make no mistake, voting good cop neoliberal/bad cop fascist is a vote for continued oligarchy and class occupation, one with affirmation ribbons, one with scapegoats, both with defective capital batteries aka our fellow citizens dying in the streets to encourage labor compliance as a threat.

    I still live with shame voting for the lesser evil, as it is endorsement of this capitalist trap. It’s a vote for quiet slaughter, not peace. And this time around, it was for nothing at all.

    sigh

    I need to get the fuck out of this place. We’ve gone full Fascist, and even those that claim to be on the left still harbor nationalist allegiance to this cesspool.




  • That is horseshit for a very Important reason.

    The CEO took action. He accepted payment. This was an active confidence scheme.

    Take their money, promise to provide care through claim fulfillment when the mark inevitably gets sick.

    When the mark inevitably gets sick, reveal the con, keep the money, let them die when you actively presented yourself as their sickness preparation.

    Brian was a murderer. His murder weapon was snake oil, a false agreement.



  • Yeah that is strange, the affluent usually have gold plated plans that aren’t subject to the same murderous tyranny most’s base level and/or employer provided garbage is. I thought those are the plans they point to as the US having the “best Healthcare in the world…” for the right people, god’s chosen affluenza sociopaths.

    I always saw those plans as the “In the little self-protecting country club” plans provided for the owners fellow owners in actual good faith since they’re seen as bona fide human beings and not exploitation livestock.

    As with anything in the owner’s completely seperate, segregated world, from vacation spots to Healthcare, the only gate they need to keep is prohibitive expense.
