Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

They're only talking about this because of Luigi, they're scared, and billionaires only think about sharing when they're scared, Sadly they're only THINKING about it
Deregulation and privatization? For something that's already a racket that can kill to save money? Might as well start pulling a Canada and pass around the Vault-Tec Plan D's
Well, we got a group of Trumpers that are so hell bent on making sure other people's lives are worse. So they are taking us all down with them. These guys have managed to put a professional anti-vaxxer in our federal healthcare system. Then they wonder why their healthcare is shit, costs much money, and don't work good.
Indeed.
I've heard MAGA explained to me as a "Reverse Cargo Cult" of sorts.
If you're not familiar with Cargo Cults, there are isolated places all over the world with no real contact with the outside world. I understand "Isolated" and "No real contact" are saying the same thing, but I wanna drive the point home that these are places that have had no interaction with anyone but themselves.
Sometimes that's for a damn good reason as quite a few of them are outright hostile to visitors.
Anyway, a phenomenon has happened where people in these areas will see planes in the sky and believe them to be Gods. Sometimes for one reason or another these planes crash or drop their cargo. The people in these areas will then examine these and try to recreate or restore radios they find, believing they can fly or contact the Gods, if only they build these devices correctly and pray to them enough. This never happens of course because they're trying to build complicated machinery out of sticks and stones, but you get the idea.
There's actually one that believes the King of England is a God simply because they found photos of him, and actively worship them.
They don't know why their version of technology doesn't work and the ones they find from above do, but they believe that if they keep trying and praying surely it will happen one day.
Well MAGA is a Reverse Cargo Cult; They know they're taking us down with them.
Essentially, MAGA looks at the planes in the sky and says. "When we built our own it didn't work, so the ones in the air don't work either. It's some kind of illusion and we should punish them for lying to us!"
It's why they rejected Biden and Kamala for saying they've been fixing the economy, even though it's obvious from prior behavior that Trump will outright wreck it. They've given up on anything getting better, and just want to use Trump as the brick they wanna throw at the man behind the curtain pretending that planes can fly.
I don't know if I believe this explanation, but I figured I'd voice it in the hopes of creating a discourse.
You honestly think they would approve a paying customer's claim for euthanasia?
I mean, they're already chosing to let people die.
Letting someone die because they don't get care doesn't cost the insurance company anything.
