A Washington Post columnist on Friday evening called the public’s reaction to the assassination of a health insurance CEO “chilling” — and decried what she called “public bloodlust for destruction and retribution.”
Fucking lol. Bloodlust?? The public has tolerated watching their loved ones get murdered for profit, and have spent decades begging for the massacre to stop.
We’ve run out of peaceful options.
The dipshits on top can reverse course literally whenever they want - if you don’t like violence then stop setting the fucking stage for it.
It’s really a desire to stop the bloodlust, which the companies denying claims have, and try to label “profit”.
Maybe if you get a buddy to pay you a hundred bucks to kill a public menace the establishment will be utterly powerless and forced to respect it.
“Well you killed my entire family and that makes me sad, but it did make you money” shakes hand “See you on the golf course”.
Americans are rejecting leaders who propose solutions for their problems
Wait… Who has proposed real solutions lately? The last time universal insurance was proposed we got Obamacare. An improvement yeah, but here we are still in a mess.
This is exactly what I was about to say - I haven’t seen ANYONE try to fix this problem that had any power whatsoever. This wasn’t ever, and will never, be solved by the political leaders we’ve elected because they’re paid off by the very companies that create the problem.
What planet are these writers on? Do they think we don’t notice the bald faced lies they’re spinning?
She blasted politicians on both sides for ditching substantive policy proposals with what she called “rage-baiting political rhetoric,” which convinces people, “The system is rigged against you, populists preach, so forget trying to fix that system. Instead, let’s blow it all up and punish whoever rigged it in the first place.”
I think she agrees with you about the politicians.
I saw an interview with Warren Buffet where he said he, Jamie Dimon and Jeff Bezos came together to try and propose a solution to healthcare in the US, after some considered time they said the problem was insoluble :)
Given current profit structures and multiple layers of skimming $$ off, along with the overhead it adds, absolutely. Throwing away our current structures and starting threatens the income streams of a number of rich and powerful.
Concepts of solutions
Bernie
Fuck WaPo.
BezosPo
Yeah, sure, but what that CEO’s company does is super dandy and fine, right?
