  • Private health insurance companies. Study after study has shown that Americans pay more, get worse care, and are completely at the whim of these unnecessary middlemen. What the fuck!? EVERY OTHER MODERN COUNTRY HAS SINGLE-PAYER. It’s efficient, it’s obvious, it works.

    The United Healthcare CEO further enriched himself by denying more legitimate claims than any other company. A private company, that can decide whether you can afford to live or die. Entire families are completely bankrupted over medical bills. Every. Single. Year. In the United States of America. It’s the entire reason Luigi Mangione garnered so much understanding and sympathy. (Not that it could have been him, he was at my place, we were playing Super Nintendo…)

    I once got one of these up to speed (solo) at the park near my home, jumped on, and held onto the middle with my legs, while my head spun around past the outer platform. Then, some dickhead bully hit me in the back of the head with a rock and I had to make my way home while bleeding… Only, there was literally no one there. I checked multiple times, and there was nowhere to hide or run to. That fucking merry-go-round dislodged a rock from under it, then the centrifugal force flung it right at my head! And that’s one of the milder ways you could hurt yourself on these things…
