  • You would hope, but some posts just scream "chronically online, no social interaction with local community".

    Be mad at libs but they are community involved, in mutual aid, and protests, local elections. If you want to help your community, you're going to find yourself allied alongside lots of libs.

  • Yeah and there were a lot of quiet heroes in Germany who did small-scale acts of rebellion and saved a lot of lives by hiding people and helping them escape.

    There's a lot of quiet libs doing small acts of rebellion hiding immigrants or escorting people to get abortion or providing plan b.

    I feel like some of you "revolutionaries" have lost the plot, like the revolution only matters if it's big and cinematic. I think you've made it more about your ego and internal revolution LARP than actually helping people.

    So WHO chose the rapist over the woman? And why are you choosing to blame women instead?

  • If the women in other cities are getting rights, the women in your city might see that and start getting uppity and think they deserve rights too.

    It's not about agreement, it's about keeping those women in line.

  • Elon Musk's drug use was "far more serious" than previously known: NYT report

  • Fascism doesn't allow for two strong men, and both Musk and Trump think they are the next Fuhrer. One of them was always going to fall. Right at the end of the election Musk was in a dominating position, he was called the shadow king, and Trump the vice president.

    Musk flubbed everything when he overreached with that Nazi salute. He was ready to claim his Fuhrer throne but he just tanked his company profits, and then cried about it.

    Trump at least consistently grifts the right wing crowd, Musk did the most awful rebrand in history from Tony Stark-like futurist to Dark MAGA weird cringe Nazi.

  • RFK Jr.‘s ‘Make America Healthy Again’ report seems riddled with AI slop

    Jump

  • Washington Post is, at best, a bunch of spineless cowards.

    Still I'm not sure this late in the game, who could still possibly be on the fence about RFK. Either you know he's a grifting lying piece of trash, or you fell for the cult, and any strong condemnation from media based on rationality and logic will only make you dig your heels in stronger.

  • Both Sides SaMe!!

  • Zero? Sounding pretty gaslighty because there are definitely leftist accelerationists who were talking like trump was going to push America into some kind of socialist revolution, although they got really quiet after Trump actually won.

  • And if the liberals don't do a good enough job you just side with the fascists to teach the liberals a lesson?

  • Both Sides SaMe!!

    Jump

  • Leftists don't have a person to rally around, and some leftists rallied around MAGA. So leftists either sat out, or sided with fascists.

    What did you expect liberals to do in this situation?

  • I want to move out from Ubuntu and use something else.

    Jump

  • I have a Lenovo Flex with Aurora, which is a version of Fedora Atomic with "batteries installed" (nonfree libraries included) and a KDE desktop.

    If you prefer Gnome that version is Bluefin.

    The advantage of an atomic/immutable distro is that it's effectively impossible to break, but you can't tinker with the internals like you would a regular distro. And that's still with fresh packages hot from the oven about once a week.

  • BlackRock is Suing UnitedHealth for Giving “Too Much Care” to Patients After the CEO was Murdered

    Jump

  • This is an excellently written comment, thank you!

    but in fact the lawsuit appears to condemn their "anti-consumer tactics" while seeking damages from their "materially false and misleading" statement to investors in January.

    I'm going to have to argue a bit here because you're describing the legal case correctly, but the legal case is not the same as the reality.

    Healthcare investors are fully aware that they profit over denying claims. That is their business model. They make money by denying claims. They are invested in profiting by denying as many claims as possible. Sure, publicly they will condemn "anti-consumer tactics", but at the same time they're lining their own pockets with the profits of those tactics.

    The "misleading" statement by Healthcare United was that the profit would continue to be the same. Because claims would be denied at the same rate. Why was the statement misleading? Because claims were not denied at the same rate, more claims were paid out than before.

    The medium article is sensationalized, but it's also reading between the lines of the lawsuit. The investors are not stupid. The investors know full well that you cannot maintain the same profit if you raise your expenses. Profit = revenue - expense. Denying fewer claims raised the expenses. To be mad that profit didn't stay the same, they are actually mad that claim denials did not stay at the same rate.

    I guarantee you this lawsuit is not about improving healthcare and getting ordinary people the care they need. This is just another game of rich people making money.

  • SO, Blackrock is suing because "the public backlash prevented the company from pursuing 'the aggressive, anti-consumer tactics that it would need to achieve' its earnings goals."

    The "anti-consumer tactics" would be denying coverage on providing care. So, United Healthcare care was providing more care, and making less profit as a result.

    Now I think the lawsuit is aimed at the earnings goals itself, and the communications around expenses, not the expenses themselves. "Too Much Care" is reductive, sensationalized, but it's not outright incorrect.

    Remember that privatized healthcare is inherently broken, because your profit model depends entirely on denying people coverage.
