One could also say Mangione took the logic of self-help to its most extreme conclusion, eschewing systemic change in favor of a DIY murder complete with a 3D-printed gun.

Renaming the Dem party 'the hubris and the idiocy.' Harris lost to the worst candidate in US history. Who cares by how much. Dems, start proposing massive structural changes that favor everyday people enough that they can feel those changes. Ask anyone outside of Dem leadership for suggestions.

A nation that believes that things only have a right to exist if they are profitable and not because they provide a societal good is a nation on the brink of disaster.

We, too, could have nice things if we collectively demanded them.
A post from user @AnnieForTruth, states: "I live in Sweden. We have social security, affordable healthcare, strict gun laws, 5 weeks paid annual leave and a year maternity leave. A stay at the hospital for one night costs about $10. Prescription drugs have an annual cap of $210. We are not communists. We are socio-democratic, and our freedoms are not inhibited."

When I saw the story, I was happy not in a jump-for-joy, gleeful kind-of-way, but in a deep, peaceful, satisfied kind-of-way. I hope for more of this.

It’s cool that we just had a presidential election where healthcare basically never came up. They don't even pretend to care anymore

UnitedHealthcare Group had a profit of $32.36 billion last year by the way. Profit. For context the budget of the government of Bulgaria was $32.47 billion. Some have estimated that you could end world hunger for around $25 billion a year.

Where are all the news stories about each individual death caused by United Health's failure to cover needed medical care? Did I miss those? I see a lot of stories about one CEO death... #capitalismsucks

Let's talk about this instead of calling the CEO's killing "senseless." The shooter probably had a reason, wether or not you agree with that reason. #capitalismsucks www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...
