I hang myself with the seatbelt.

PC component makers used to. They found it hard to swindle people into buying what was most profitable over what was best performing, so they deliberately made their naming schemes incomprehensible.

Immediately had that thought as well.

Don’t blame the barn for not holding the horses when you leave the fucking door open.

What I think about whether Luigi Mangione is guilty or not is that the health insurance industry is responsible for apocalyptic levels of suffering and death and literally everyone in the United States is a victim of AT LEAST the constant psychological torture of being programmed to value their wealth over their lives when every single one of them knows that it is an active choice by avaricious executives and shareholders to sacrifice their well-being and that of their families and loved ones for the continued wealth accumulation of those executives and shareholders not to mention the actual suffering and death that results of the deliberate, conscious, informed choice by those in power to withhold healthcare in order to extract profit from the most vulnerable at the cost of their very lives.

Because wages are too low.

Next.

This practice exists, but is in violation of guaranteed constitutional rights. The rights still exist and must be respected. The United States’ failure to do so does not absolve the responsibility, nor does it negate the reality of the rights in question. The laws and practices enabling this situation are unconstitutional and thus illegitimate.

As for what can be done about it, the responsibility of the average person is to be LOUD about it. Make them pay attention and do not shut up until they do.

Downvoted. Not boring.

Nobody said that doing what’s right would be easy. Or safe. Only that it’s worth doing.

100% of all of it. You have the RIGHT. Not priviliege, not favor, not permission. RIGHT.

The logical conclusion is that absolute suppression is not as effective as the authorities would like us to believe.

I have the RIGHT to freedom of speech and expression and I will not waive it for Trump or anyone else. Without it, there is no United States.

Fuck Donald Trump. Fuck Elon Musk. Fuck the Republicans. Fuck the oligarchy. Fuck authoritarianism. Fuck this fear, and fuck advance compliance.

I serve no fucking king.

Maybe if you were fluent in English you could have said what you meant in one attempt.

It makes me uncomfortable when people suffer so I just pretend their suffering isn’t real when it challenges me.

FTFY

The fact that it’s bad doesn’t make it impossible.

Holy shut the fuck up batman

Dude that sucks, but student loans didn’t cause that.

Congratulations you were the smartest 17 year old on earth here’s a fucking cookie go masturbate or whatever

Only one way to find out.

Oh hey it’s the same corporate troll line again cool

With no DOE employees to process defaults?

Nobody should be paying a red cent.

If your choice is draining your entire bank account to the point you can’t afford to live or suffering a credit score penalty, then the credit score should be sacrificed.

“but they can…”

Stop. Nothing they can do is worse than starving. Don’t pay them. Use your money for your own needs.
