  • Except

    If I leave a rake on the ground and it rusts over 5 years

    Is categorically incomparable with "I implemented a robot specifically designed to withhold healthcare from as many people as possible to save my company money and gain me a big fat bonus"

  • he also had it all DUE TO CAPITALISM

    As far as I'm aware he was not part of the owning class, he just had a good paying job, that does not make him a benefactor of capitalism.

    I see a lot of leftist political whores try to smear him based on his class…

    Says the person who brought his class up.. 🤔

    Look, I'm not trying to have a go, but honestly this is completely derailing from my point - health is not a virtue, nor is it in our control (despite what abled people love to believe), and being in ill health and or becoming disabled is only "losing it all" because of capitalism and abled supremacy, NOT because sick and disabled people's lives no longer have value (which is what the original comment implies).

  • The other person (E: whose reply seems to have now vanished?) is correct about why it's different, but it took about a minute to do in paint, whereas finding the blank image and putting in the correct text would have taken much longer lol

  • Certainly a very valid point, and hopefully we're building up to that (bigger money comes with much tighter security), but I do think the people so directly sacrificing people's lives for profit shouldn't be overlooked.

  • Oh yeah, shit 😂

    The movie was on in the background (which is why I looked the meme up) and winding up, so Morticia and Gomez were talking to each other, and my brain must have scrambled. I'll fix that.

  • I’m from (Scotland) but I would read about insurance and employer healthcare and be really confused, since up here everything (prescriptions, glasses, teeth) is free and there’s no insurance.

    I'm in England, and I know there is a difference, but I highly doubt private insurers haven't made it up your way, and are slowly carving the NHS hollow from within just like they are down here (a very superficial look confirms that hundreds of millions are already being spent on private firms carrying out NHS Scotland work).

    People get denied NHS treatment all the time, if not directly (and yes, some directly, like trans people, but also disabled people with long term and complex cases, which I know from personal experience), then via cuts and waiting times.

    Sure, we have it better than the yanks, and you up north have it better than us down south, but please lets not pretend our NHS is in good shape (or hands, Starmer has made it clear that he is for more privatisation), providing prompt and accessible healthcare, or not going the exact same way the US healthcare system is (often being bought up by the very same companies).

    The last thing we need is to be getting complacent.
