Pandantic [they/them]

It’s kind of sad really but, in a way, heartening? Like if we could break them of their stupid brainwashing, they could be real comrades? Though, I don’t think we can so it’s only sad.

“Soldier who died in cybertruck”

I like how they’re not calling him a terrorist becaus he:

• Failed
• Is a soldier

Also, I like how there’s no implication that he tried to blow up said cybertruck, he was just killed in it. 🙃

I always wondered this, so I’m glad you made a topic about it. I noticed an invidious link in a post I made was broken, and I started thinking that the broken link thing might be a problem going forward, especially for the longevity of a post’s life. I do hate YouTube and I’m happy to hear that me sharing a YouTube link is usually not giving them website traffic or user info because of the actions of other lemmys. Thanks for this post!

My only-ever-windows SO just got a computer with PopOS on it (default) and it took some getting used to, but he loves it. I was like, “you know this is a Mac OS clone, right? 😏” and he was like 🤯

I noticed Animix Player doesn’t have “no ads” servers anymore and even when it opens the ads it doesn’t play. 😭

Short answer about benefitting policy holders vs share holders is they’re not. They won’t.

Yeah, I said that knowing this was true, and I guess props on them for not lying their way out of that part… 🙄

The second half of what you said is why these companies, that literally have peoples health and wellbeing in their hands, should NOT be for-profit companies. They are actually profiting, and celebrating their record profits, off of hurting people. It’s insane.

Thanks for the podcast share, I’ll check it out.

Yeah, we don’t want to have a politician de facto in power because no one else better comes along and/or no one still wants to vote.

What if we make not voting an official vote and, if it wins, all the parties have to try again with new candidates?

Witty said that while UHC is willing to “partner with anyone” who could help the system work better, “clearly, we are not there yet.”

“We understand and share the desire to build a health care system that works better for everyone. That is the purpose of our organization,” he wrote.

I would love for him to explain to me why they NEED to deny 1/3 of their claims to keep their business afloat and how they are using their $23.1 billion profit to benefit the policy holders rather than the share holders. That would be a real article, a real plea to the populace. This is just an article full of empty words that mean nothing, but it does show us how scared you execs are, which is nice.

Oh, and I liked this part (emphasis mine):

Witty added that Thompson was “never content with the status quo” and praised the CEO for advocating for ideas that “were aimed at making health care more affordable, more transparent, more intuitive, more compassionate — and more human.”

Yea, like the Ai denial system? I bet that really gave it the human touch. I mean, I really can’t believe he said that part.

Okay, that’s what I was trying to convey.

You said:

the catchphrase insurance companies themselves created and live by.

And I just said she added the part that the killer added too - depose.

From the article’s source article:

“She’s been in this world long enough that she certainly should know better that you can’t make threats like that in the current environment that we live in and think that we’re not going to follow up and put you in jail,” said Lakeland Police Chief Sam Taylor.

I thought we had a legal definition of a real threat, and this isn’t it.

Well, “depose” isn’t pat of it. The killer added that part.

Then the question is, why weren’t they just given full contol of the infowars business in the first place if that’s what they really wanted?

Yeah, billionaires! We’re just trying to help you!

Has there been an investigation or is this just suspicion?

My sleep doctor has talked about going to appeal hearings for medicine with insurance companies, and talked about how they brought doctors, but not sleep doctors. So, when the arbitrator or whatever asked a question about sleep practices or medicine to the insurance doctor, they would defer the question to her because they didn’t know the answer.

But I thought the NY mayor said they “know his name” [yahoo]. 🤔

Down voters don’t know (or are too scared).

You are both right, if @Carrolade@lemmy.world is not claiming that a CEO is not responsible for the running of the company - they are the top tier checks of each other, with the board having marginally more power with the ability to oust the CEO.
