If I leave a rake on the ground and it rusts over 5 years
Is categorically incomparable with "I implemented a robot specifically designed to withhold healthcare from as many people as possible to save my company money and gain me a big fat bonus"
Not how mental illness works, but go off, I guess.. 🙄
(but don't really, this kind of bullshit only deepens stigma and misunderstanding of how it does work, and makes those who suffer feel even more alienated)
"Delay. Deny. Dispose." Is what goes through my mind every time I see those words, though I quite like yours, and it also made me think of "Delay. Deny. Defenestrate." which would work well for our Russian comrades (those opposing their government, its institutions, and the oligarchs in charge).
The other person (E: whose reply seems to have now vanished?) is correct about why it's different, but it took about a minute to do in paint, whereas finding the blank image and putting in the correct text would have taken much longer lol
Certainly a very valid point, and hopefully we're building up to that (bigger money comes with much tighter security), but I do think the people so directly sacrificing people's lives for profit shouldn't be overlooked.
The movie was on in the background (which is why I looked the meme up) and winding up, so Morticia and Gomez were talking to each other, and my brain must have scrambled. I'll fix that.
I’m from (Scotland) but I would read about insurance and employer healthcare and be really confused, since up here everything (prescriptions, glasses, teeth) is free and there’s no insurance.
I'm in England, and I know there is a difference, but I highly doubt private insurers haven't made it up your way, and are slowly carving the NHS hollow from within just like they are down here (a very superficial look confirms that hundreds of millions are already being spent on private firms carrying out NHS Scotland work).
People get denied NHS treatment all the time, if not directly (and yes, some directly, like trans people, but also disabled people with long term and complex cases, which I know from personal experience), then via cuts and waiting times.
Sure, we have it better than the yanks, and you up north have it better than us down south, but please lets not pretend our NHS is in good shape (or hands, Starmer has made it clear that he is for more privatisation), providing prompt and accessible healthcare, or not going the exact same way the US healthcare system is (often being bought up by the very same companies).
The last thing we need is to be getting complacent.
