      I know what you mean, but the bulk of the actual problem is that working class Americans can’t stop fucking killing themselves with stupid behavior. The leading causes of death are preventable. The thing you mean that you dare not simply come out and say because you value your liberty is living in a fantasy so that you don’t have to do the hard work of fixing reality.

          It’s a lot better than the premise that murdering CEOs is going to improve the life expectancy of the working class. You just breeze by that, and then you stumble on my take?? People are looking for easy answers that don’t require they make any changes whatsoever. They’re begging for the intervention of some kind of savior, when the real answer is, “just stop killing yourself.”

            Hey. I saw you throating the boots of the exploitative owning class in a bunch of your comments. Do you have any good takes about anything? Like, even on a totally different topic?

            We pay twice what other countries do for healthcare, for much worse results. The insurance plague is definitely party of the problem.

            When insurance companies are auto denying claims in hope you give up and never challenge that bullshit contact breach, it’s definitely a massive part of the problem.
