    Two wrongs don’t make a right. She could have said DDD without “you people are next.”

    Having said that, if we’re really judging people, and corporations are people, why isn’t the denial of health care seen as manslaughter? 70 people pass every day due to the lack of medical care in America. We have worse outcomes, shorter average life than other civilized countries.

    When is a corporation sued for murder & sent to jail? I know it sounds crazy, but that’s the point. These systems aren’t making sense. They lack humanity. This is a bad, morally bankrupt system. Older Americans loves their Medicare: that’s socialism.

    I’m so sick of this shit.

      Because they make money when they deny something.

        Hurt people hurt people. I don’t know how to fix things. But if we go around destroying one another, what will be left?

        I think the system is immoral. It should be abolished. An absurd takeaway from that would be “health insurance workers should be jailed.”

        I find it challenging to say our humanity is through being inhuman to one another. Wouldn’t our humanity need to come from humane action?

        I’m as upset as everyone else about these machinations. Everyone is a child of someone. If we don’t remember that, all is lost.

          Front line worker: “I have no moral culpability, I’m just doing what my manager tells me to.”

          Manager: “I have no moral culpability, I just do what the executives tell me to.”

          Executives: “I have no moral culpability, I just maximize shareholder value.”

          Shareholders: “All I did was buy an index fund in my 401k. Why you trying to pin this on me?”

          186 people murdered by the health insurance companies every day, yet somehow not a single human being involved has any moral culpability.

          This is why Luigi did nothing wrong. If there is one person who has moral culpability, it’s the CEO. They justify their obscene salaries by taking credit for a company’s performance. They can accept the moral culpability as well.

            It didn’t fly at Nuremberg, yet it flies in capitalistic societies who demanded retribution at Nuremberg. Go figure.

          We are limited by our material conditions.

          It sure would be nice if all hurt people could be safely rehabilitated and reeducated so they stop hurting people. That’s not feasible at the moment, though.

          The next best thing is just making sure they can never hurt anyone ever again, until we can build that society where no one ever gets hurt ever again.
