Right. So President Musk’s first act will be to destroy his competition.

Do we have that manufacturing? Or does most of it belong to China?

Trevor Noah’s latest podcast is a discussion with him, Josh, and Christiana about this topic. One of the more honest discussions I’ve heard.

Haven’t seen this yet.

Yep. They really will be coming for our guns.

As someone inside the healthcare system, I can confidently state that COVID simply brought out a lot of festering problems that already existed. The pandemic didn’t create those problems, it revealed them.

The one “but” here is that COVID did help speed up the timeline on doctor/nurse/caregiver burnout as well and create a bottleneck in getting care due to sheer numbers which is still happening right now. How long are you waiting for your next PCP appointment, or to get established with one? (One example).

And as another “but”. What I just said above was already the trajectory of the system. We simply had a little healthcare “inflation” that sped all of that up.

Everything you’ve said is correct. The basic chaos and statistics of life is too much to process for some people. However, the number of vaccine deniers is now a movement, and growing, and being given lip service by people in charge. That doesn’t happen in a vacuum.

We are both correct in our main assertions.

It’s a mimic of how most charlatans start their pitch for bullshit solutions.

This deserves a link.

This is clearly a proposition intended to remove anonymity from any future shooters in NYC.

You saw the camera footage. It’s as watched as CCTV in London, apparently.

RFK and conspiracy thinking right alongside Luigi are ALL symptoms indicating the same problem: a health care system that enriches CEOs at the bankruptcy and death of the masses.

At base it’s like the Hepatitis C cure when it rolled out. A $ amount is put on this cure, only X number of people get it each month, up to a certain $ amount across all claimants, and the rest are SOL. Healthcare itself is like that. We did 18 NICU babies already this month, or we did 32 cardiac cath procedures this month, time to delay, deny, defend.

Wouldn’t it be cool if you could figure a way around needing that healthcare? If you could do 6 simple steps that are entirely under your own power, cheaply or for free, and fix your health on your own? What a dream that would be. This need for health independence is as predictable as a Luigi.

RFK is like a cherry on the shit sundae of our present system. He’s symbolic of the need for something other that we can maybe have more control over. Unfortunately, drinking raw milk has a higher potential of adding more problems.

Bernie will remain our lost opportunity.

And he’s just been put in charge of destroying all the things fed side that actually do help the working class.

This, our situation, could be worse. And this South African child of Apartheid has the power to make it so.

There’s no magnetic field. What’s his long term plan there?

My guess is it’s a billionaire “I wanna” thing and it goes no further than that.

Is this real or the onion?

I think there are so many potential plans people are in overload on that one.

He bought Trump for $134 million. Cheap, for him.

His kid makes sense. This makes no sense.

Pretty sure a lot of that camera data in NYC was from Google and Amazon.

Also, META, Amazon, and Google all kissed the ring. I can’t imagine our collective data isn’t one of the reasons for the initial invitation.

I thought Elon Musk was POTUS by proxy.

The narrative isn’t about vigilantes. The narrative is about class. It has always been about class.

Being a vigilante is fine (per the corporate narrative) so long as the victim is low income, “low” class, homeless, or mentally ill.

Luigi killed an upper class rich guy, he didn’t pull from what was allowed: Floyd (low income, “low” class), Neely (homeless, “low” class, mentally ill), the kid killed by Rittenhouse (low income, mentally ill), or Martin (an exemplar of a whole history in class warfare that allows for even a child to be pushed into this bizarre “low” class paradigm because he is black).

Luigi failed to follow the allowed algorithm. That’s why.

They haven’t decided what to do with him yet, how to craft his story, so they’re yelling at the public at large right now. And both Warren and Bill Burr.

High odds they go heavy on placing Luigi in a hole with Kazinsky and McVeigh.
