      And the 2A is to allow the working class to take out their frustrations on other working class members and commit more harshly punished crimes to allow for longer sentences in the slave factories.

    Remember denying health care for profit is a noble cause that is should be celebrated in our capitalistic hellhole.

    Not just arrested. Luigi’s been mostly in solitary confinement and straight jackets this whole time.

    The drug I’ve paid $25/15 pills for the past couple months suddenly jumped up to $140 this week. I tried giving CVS a GoodRX coupon to knock it down to $75 and they told me they no longer accept them.

    It’s an important drug to me, but luckily not vital to my survival. Still, fuck this healthcare system.

        Yes, you’re certainly free to do so, you’ll only need to wait until our parent runs out (whoops, we made a meaningless adjustment to the formula and got the patent extended), spend huge buckets of money getting your production chain up to the spec of the regulatory agency that we captured, get contracts with the pharmacy benefit managers (whoops, we gave them totally cool and legal kickbacks), and then when you start making money, we’ll just drop our price until we bankrupt you, buy up the scraps, and make sure nobody else can recover anything from the ashes.

      The system is working as designed.

      It’s not designed to help you, but it’s working as it was designed to work.

    I hope those parents find justice. With their son gone there’s no telling what might happen. I hope the ceo chokes on his toast.

      I know what you mean, but comments like yours always make me feel sad. Like, what is justice in this context? A just world would be one in which their son is still alive. Justice died with him.

      My own experience of litigating an injustice sticks with me. No amount of compensation can ever undo a wrong that should’ve never been allowed to happen.

    So you’re saying posting angry guillotine threats didn’t actually fix our healthcare system? Was it just armchair revolutionaries impotently blowing off steam and acting badass? Wow, that’s a head scratcher.
