  Aren’t you supposed to say “I rest my case” at the end of your argument, not before you start it?

  To be honest I hadn’t listened to or seen Charlie Kirk before he was shot dead, because his whole thing was hateful grift which I cannot tolerate any more in my life. But I have dealt with American health and dental insurance companies for more than 20 years. They purport to be civil when, in the system as it is now (with political lobbying) they can ruin lives. Charlie Kirk spewed hate pretty freaking directly, so someone threw it back at him. Insurance companies are insulated behind layers of fake smile, fake concern for consumers’ health, false scarcity — while lobbying politicians and arguing with medical professionals — all ONLY for boardroom profits, all crushing the entire populace if there’s no other prospect for a social safety net. For massively overinflating shit that in other countries (not just “poor”-GDP ones) is like 1% of the cost to the patient. Health for everyone, as a sector/concept in our lives, is more pressing than stupid grifters trying to rile up stupid white people. The effect of grifters riling up stupid white people is obviously awful. But I don’t want to hear any more of stupid white people telling me racist hogwash. I want to be able to get medicine for my kid. Right?

  What are you talking about? Hasn’t the victim just dropped her kid off at school?

  Congrats :-) Thanks for context/inspo, I might try to do the same.

  Dang, what makes you think so? I was put on 20mg then I asked to downgrade to 10mg the past few years, still now. I suspected it wasn’t helping but also have some circumstances (aging, small children, etc) that also seem to contribute to my mind being a bowl of soup, so I’m never sure what’s causing what…
