In the past few weeks, one thing has become crystal clear in America: The public outrage after the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson exposed a seething fury over the health insurance racket. No amount of media finger-wagging at public perversity or partisan attempts to frame Luigi Mangione’s act as a statement from the left or right can hide the reality: The people, from all sides, are livid about the healthcare system—and with good reason.
So what? What are you all gonna do about it??? Nothing.
Already, the public fury is less visible. I could graph it and it would look like a radioactive half life curve.
America truly is not to be improved for a while, by any reasonable measure or metric.
This is why optimists hope it will not get too worse for the average person, but instead just exist as is fur many many many years. Because it cannot get better, at all, except for a minority of wealthier folks. Maybe the top 5% ?
I say burn it all down
May make some feel better but burning it down means fewer drugs in drugstores, a further breakdown in health care, little infant formula to be found in stores, spotty electrical supply and hundreds of other things.
And no guarantee things would work, or be better, later.
That is assuming Americans have the capacity to burn anything down other than their couches
I said burn it down, not slightly burn the corners. Burn it down implies nothing left.
Destroy it all.
