I never thought I’d see the items in a shopping cart double in price so quickly, but here we are

“Amazon, which has appealed the union certification, claims the Teamsters have coerced workers, accusations the union denies.”

Oh this is so stupid. My parents even fall for this shit. Any “coercing” going on is the workers pointing out that without the union things won’t improve, and likely get worse.

The 2028 totally-not-an-organizef-general-strike is desperately necessary.

Is it 0? No?

Have a ways to go then.

I’m being honest with you, I don’t think I’ve seen him outside before.

Interesting to note, they mentioned the Florida woman’s name, but not the judge’s.

Interesting, interesting, interesting.

I take it that was the the information they could get.

I wonder what people will do about that.

Nothing? Or cheer?

“forcing leaders to ask themselves uncomfortable questions about their own preparedness for a threat landscape that appears far more serious than many realized just a week ago.”

It’s probably even more serious than they think it is right now too.

In fact, all I see are talks of securing these executives. And as the article points out, security is a sunk cost. There is no financial gain. That means as security gets more expensive, they will have to weigh how to afford it versus the problems they cause.

Fear isn’t the word I think we want though, fear seems too normal. Terror sounds closer to what they likely need to feel before things get better.

AAAARROOOOOOO!

The more that comes out against this guy, the more horrors I hear. No wonder the people fought so hard against such a strong opponent.

But it’s also impressive that it shows ordinary people are still more powerful in numbers, no matter how much you try to scare them into submission.

Jihad.

(I don’t think enough people understood your comment, well done)

They don’t want him in front of a jury.

Regardless if it’s him or not. They cannot afford him to get acquitted.

But they can’t martyr him. That will be a death sentence to the US.

This isn’t going to end well for anyone. This guy has shown a much darker picture of the US to us that we all know too well.

I certainly don’t know what it is.

Never heard of it. Never seen a show with it, never read a book on it, or read up on it online.

In fact, those two words together? I ain’t seen them like that ever, and I’m pretty sure it ain’t English. Just like this guy, I ain’t seen him do it. Ain’t him.

To be fair, the video of the shooter had the upper half of his face.

And the guy they arrested has the upper half of his face.

Although I have the upper half of my face.

Do you have the upper half of your face? If not we can probably rule you out.

Something something stiches

Nah that ain’t him.

Edit: Looking at photos they had on ABC NY article and this guy? Unless they get him to plead guilty or otherwise confess, which they totally could do, it actually really might not be him.

I have a friend in Iowa who said the same thing.

Man this guy really goes places

So that was a long ass article but worth the read.

Obviously the author is one of integrity which doesn’t exist in most media. Reading between it all, I noticed there was something that bothered me far more than the Hospital clearly covering it up, or Weiner outright murdering his patients:

The doctors who brought all of this forward and went through appropriate channels were all suppressed.

A non-profit hospital is a start. And I appreciate the “concerns of patient comfort.” But there were so many doctors concerned about the standard of care and likely malpractice, yet nothing is able to be done about it? The 16 year old had a massive tumor missed two weeks prior, and Warwick never had cancer to begin with?

Are we talking about corruption of one doctor? Or are we talking about corruption of a whole system? Medicine needs to be science. Since the doctors come together on a consensus that Weiner was not providing standard of care, then the doctors need the authority to remove him from that position.

This has money and power written all over it.

I get the feeling it’s the same in most industries. “Upper leadership” is a problem that needs to be dealt with. Not just executives, but it’s a start. Management will destroy this planet because that’s the best ROI.

“Deny, Defend, Depose” is what was “officially” shared, but it’s earily similar to the title of a book ‘Deny, Delay, Defend’ referring to the insurance company policies to avoid making claim payouts.

In any case, the effect is the same.

“it’s being framed as some opening blow in a broader class war”

I mean the guy did hit the nail on the head. The elite have done so much for so long to keep the masses divided to prevent a class war. The sane thing would be for private companies, especially the healthcare insurance industry, to immediately change their policies before it gets worse.

The pressure has been rising for a long time, and something gave a few days ago. Cats already out of the bag.

Well, considering that Americans have to pay for health insurance in one way shape or form, and it likely comes out of their paycheck every month if they get benefits, no. It’s not.

Because we all have to pay an ass load of what we worked for for something we don’t necessarily need at the moment, but when we do, we’d really fucking like to.

In 2012 the total bill a relative got for their heart attack (or maybe stroke, I can’t remember it was bad) was $2m. Had they not had insurance that covered it, that’s how much debt they’d be in. In 2012. Fast forward to now. Yeah, a lot of insurance covers stuff like that. But a lot of people only have the insurance that covers absolutely the bare minimum.

Which is how you end up with people having poor health, subsequent heart attacks, or strokes, etc. Preventative medicine would keep those far rarer than they currently are.

So, no. $50k isn’t a lot. Its an insult. It’s an insult to the $20k/year people pay for something they can’t use. Instead that $20k/year could go to a universal health system where you don’t wait until you end up in the ER to get medical care. It’s an insult to the people who are saddled in medical debt by denied claims. Its an insult to doctors who give the care a patient needs. It’s an insult to the healthy people who understand they aren’t invulnerable.
