    Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

      They felt fear because of Luigi. Nothing changed. They simply must be removed.

        Nothing changed

        Except the things that did.

          Blue Cross may have reversed that anesthesia policy but other insurance companies are testing the waters on similar cuts already. https://www.newsweek.com/medical-mutual-insurer-changes-anesthesia-coverage-who-it-impacts-2010638

          The post assassination stock price dip wasn’t even the lowest price their stock hit in the last 52 weeks and it recovered pretty much immediately.

          Taking down the “about us” page on their website isn’t really a significant change is it?

          You know when we say change we mean more fundamental than the capitalist class enacting stricter security. We mean course correcting change. We’re still on our way to the splitting of the US and feudal “Network States”.

            You’re right it would have been better if nothing happened at all

            We need a sustained effort, not just a one off and a few whistle blowers.

        Luigi worried them, he didn’t cause them fear. It’s also going to take more than one single event. A line in the sand needs to be made with actual lethal consequences for crossing it. Until that happens they’ll continue doing whatever makes them richer at the expense of literally the rest of the world. One single Luigi changes nothing. A million Luigi’s would permanently solve the problem.

          Take the plunge. Organize locally.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
