The words "spoke to" seem unusually important here. If someone speaks continuously for 20 minutes with no response, have they technically lied? My money is on this being their defense. The one variation in the theme is Scott Jennings who claims that MM called him. 🤔

Most people in Ethiopia are Christian and those who were starving to death (which inspired the song and fundraising effort) were much more worried about the starving than Christmas. It was written to rattle people with benign worries into action.

The rationalizations of the assassination of a human being are almost as horrifying as the act itself.

I totally agree with you and fervently wish that we had a single-payer system at least available, even if some folks chose to stay with for-profit insurers. But this is a far different discussion than essentially condoning the murder of a CEO who works in the system that currently exists.

Or, perhaps, he selected insurance coverage based on the lowest premium cost rather than the quality of the coverage. From what I heard, he had surgery for his relatively recent back problem. What was he denied? Why are his choices not part of the conversation?

Diana @samiamsmom.bsky.social · 11/12/2024

So, you are very interested in why school shooters engage in their atrocities? Your statement above seems to condone the behavior as some inevitable consequence of for-profit healthcare. I think finding excuses for evil behavior goes too far toward normalizing it.

Diana @samiamsmom.bsky.social · 11/12/2024

How about he was just a murderous sociopath who hunted down a human being and assassinated him. Is why he fixated on that particular human being really all that relevant?

Diana @samiamsmom.bsky.social · 11/12/2024

That's childishly simplistic. How much moral responsibility do you assign to the parents of those children who - at least in some cases - chose lower premiums over quality coverage because bad things happen to other people? I hate insurance companies but...

Diana @samiamsmom.bsky.social · 11/12/2024

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but the real "far left" is often bigoted and racist, too. They just present with paternalistic platitudes or other soft lines of otherisms instead of clear epithets.

Diana @samiamsmom.bsky.social · 11/12/2024

That is not what I call "far left" at all.

Diana @samiamsmom.bsky.social · 11/12/2024

This is not a new problem. There are just many more people covered now. As much as I despise the bean-counters making life and death decisions, there is something to the point that the reason UHC covers (and denies) so many is because consumers choose their low coverage plans for lower premiums.

In other Markwayne Mullin chicanery, he’s blocking the promotion of a Pentagon recommended three-star general. The general was the last U.S. soldier to board the final U.S. military plane out of Afghanistan and Mullin is using him as a political pawn. Absolutely disgraceful. #OklahomaBlueDot 🔵

For me, the thing that knocked the wind out of me with this election is that I dared to believe America would get it right THIS time, that America was ready for a Woman President. It hurt having that blind faith in neighbors, friends, and strangers smacked out of me. Dammit, America. 😞

Currently listening to Ruth Ben-Ghiat's book Strongmen. Other than wishing it was titled something more like How Athoritarian A$$hats Get in Power (and Refuse to Leave), it is a very scary kind of good book to be reading at this moment. I feel like I can anticipate what is likely to come next.

Also, during the first administration, they moved Agriculture's research agencies from DC to Kansas City because the knew employees would quit rather than move - and they were right.

Not quite correct. Trump's "Schefule F" was an Executive Order and would, at least in theory, move large groups of civil servants to an effective "at-will" status without much protection. I suspect it will be coming back.

Not correct. They are responsible for enforcement of the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act (I.D.E.A) that makes sure states no longer segregate and hide kids with disabilities and handle federal financial aid for college, among other things.
