  • To those in countries where democracy might last another election - harm reduction is not optional

  • Aye, too true. Trump was the greater evil, but it is hard to see the US as being a democracy when our only two choices were genocide + an aggressive regression to oligarchy VS genocide + a slower LGBT-friendly regression to oligarchy,

  • The bus analogy would have been better if the only two choices were 1. to run over a bunch of poor brown kids (Israel's genocide) and being pissed on by billionaires before driving off a cliff OR 2. run over slightly fewer brown kids while being given moldy bread to eat.

    If liberal democrats truly believed in democracy than they would fight to give us a multiparty system where people don't have to vote for genocide just to prevent a more evil tyrant from taking power.

  • There is a 3rd type: people desperate for work / experience who are simply taking the best paying job they can find. It is actually the most common type of working in the US.

  • The CEO of Ford admits to purchasing and daily driving the Chinese EV Xiaomi Speed Ultra 7. He imported for his personal use; and he doesn't want to give up it. Must be nice.

  • Unfortunately, we live in a post-truth society where the vast majority of people have traded the pursuit of truth for the comfort of confirmation bias.

    And the last 6 months have shown us that the stock market is mostly just vibes and manipulation rather than being grounded in facts and reality.

  • I am just mad that free trade is only allowed when it benefits the rich, but the moment the Chinese produce a very affordable EV that would help millions of Americans while helping us fight climate change, suddenly we aren't allowed to buy it because our neo-feudal oligarchs can't take a cut for themselves....

    Free trade is a farce and our entire system is rotten.

  • The root failure of our political systems is allowing money to buy political representation. Once money can buy political influence then the system will inevitably be hijacked and corrupted to serve money over people

  • Corporations did this, and everyone just went with it.

    Not true, a socialist movement was on the rise in the US but then the government started abducting and arresting anyone who had any ties to socialism from Truman to McCarthy.

    The government has been very clear that any real threat to zombie consumerism/ capitalism will quickly be snuffed out through state sanctioned violence.

    Also, the US bombed the fuck out of every country that tried to resist being taken over by western corporations. "The Jakarta Method" is a very interesting read on the untaught atrocities of the US government that forced the world down the path it went down.

  • God I hate to use this word but it’s the only one that works… cucked.

    Owned is a great word for this. Nearly all our news outlets are owned by billionaires which leaves journalists next to zero ownership over what they are allowed to write and how they are allowed to frame things.

  • Capitalism is bad at pricing in externalities. It's pretty good at using price signals to allocate finite resources to more productive uses.

    Markets do not equal capitalism. You can have the efficiencies of free markets (worker owned co-ops which are market socialist) without the all consuming greed of capitalism.

  • TIL: UnitedHealthcare Caught Paying Off Nursing Homes to Let Seniors Die Because Hospital Transfers were “Too Expensive”

    Jump

  • If so, then oaths clearly aren't enough. We need to empower doctors to have more ownership over medical decisions.

    This goes back to the heart of the issue of capitalism vs socialism: the people who have the actual expertise to do the actual work need to share in ownership over their work so that the work gets done properly. Doctors should be at the helm of the healthcare industry just like engineers should be at the helm of Boeing.

  • We have capitalism and public health care im the EU.

    The EU has socialist / non-capitalist parties that have fought tooth and nail for socialized medicine and labor protections. The US doesn't have non-capitalist parties to fight for the working class.

    So in other words, the US only has capitalism and our government only represents the interests of capital (our government doesn't do anything unless capitalists are allowed to get their hands in it to funnel public funds into private pockets)

  • Agreed. The US's entire political system is broken beyond repair (money directly buying political representation, hyper polarization from our two party system) and evil beyond redemption (funding genocide, bombing other countries, and allowing corpos to kill Americans for profit)

  • I've worked in a few US hospitals (in the lab, but we worked closely with nurses and doctors) and by far the biggest danger I observed (other than insurance practicing medicine without a license) was nurses and doctors making mistakes due to sleep deprivation. Doctors and nurses will work 14 hours, get called in to the ER multiple times throughout the night, and then try to work another 12 hour shift without sleep.

    Another huge risk factor was overworking nurses by giving them too many patients to care for. Nurses need patient caps of 5 or 6 because each additional patient increases the risk of someone dying by 20%
