While being escorted into the courthouse for an extradition hearing, Mangione broke into an outburst at the assembled journalists.

    Imho, as painful as it is, avoiding an economic civil war at this point does more harm than good over time. It kicks the can down the road until their side exclusively can use humanoid robots to fight their battles for them, and that just means get in line and die until collapse.

    The alternative is even darker, our non-wealthy children being judged by AI as to whether the potential profit/loss of healing them is greater or less than their remaining projected exploitation value to the owners.

    And that’s just in Healthcare. Our entire economy has become this sociopathic.

    This is silent slaughter. No one should confuse quiet with peace. We haven’t had peace for a long time.

    They don’t care if only the top 5% is free on the backs of the 95%, they don’t see the bottom 95% as human at all. I don’t think society should continue under that bargain. It isn’t worth it. No one is free until everyone is.
