What jobs did those kids create? They still can’t even find their bootstraps.
“Hi yes I’d like to report that a CEO is about to make a decision that could hurt themselves or millions of others. Yes i would like to have them committed and watched for the minimum amount of time. Thank you for your help.”
Remember all that critical theory stuff people were freaking out about a few years ago?
It’s basically about how society arranges itself to benefit the people who have the power in a society.
Like how crimes against business and capital are serious crimes, but crimes against workers are usually treated as paperwork errors.
Compare the number of people arrested for shoplifting as opposed to the number arrested for wage theft.Or about how the murder of one CEO gets weeks of media attention and a potential development of new systems by the police to keep it from happening again, but we’ve already moved on from the last school shooting, and our official policy is “yeah, that’ll happen from time to time”
The specific example of the health care guy says everything about that too. Deny someone health care and they suffer and die? Or maybe hundreds of thousands of people? No problem.
That’s a good point. The white collar crime doesn’t get as much time as a shop lifter.
You are totally right but the problem is that the people who could do a revolution are all in front of their cellphone or laptop and they only write, they do nothing. They write on X, they write on Facebook but they don’t do anything else. It’s a mute revolution and the corporate knows that nothing will come of this, since the US have elected Trump.
All they have to do is enforce law so no other CEO will get killed and learn from all thid and get better at making the people don’t do anything except write on the internet.
We still have our bread and digital circuses. But the GOP is rapidly eroding our digital circuses, so it’s becoming easier and easier to pull away and live in the real world. They’re authors of their own misery, eventually.
The penis mighty
If writing on the internet does nothing, then why did we have to come here to do it freely?
Luigi Mangione manifesto
To the Feds, I’ll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn’t working with anyone. This was fairly trivial: some elementary social engineering, basic CAD, a lot of patience. The spiral notebook, if present, has some straggling notes and To Do lists that illuminate the gist of it. My tech is pretty locked down because I work in engineering so probably not much info there. I do apologize for any strife of traumas but it had to be done. Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming. A reminder: the US has the #1 most expensive healthcare system in the world, yet we rank roughly #42 in life expectancy. United is the [indecipherable] largest company in the US by market cap, behind only Apple, Google, Walmart. It has grown and grown, but as our life expectancy? No the reality is, these [indecipherable] have simply gotten too powerful, and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allwed them to get away with it. Obviously the problem is more complex, but I do not have space, and frankly I do not pretend to be the most qualified person to lay out the full argument. But many have illuminated the corruption and greed (e.g.: Rosenthal, Moore), decades ago and the problems simply remain. It is not an issue of awareness at this point, but clearly power games at play. Evidently I am the first to face it with such brutal honesty.
Cyberpunk dystopia, but without the cool ass shit, just a lot of ways to die horribly.
just a cyber dystopia, missed out on the punk
Yeah, this is definitely the Kenny G smooth jazz of dystopias. And I mean that in all of the worst possible ways.
Be the punk you wish to see in the world.
Yeah fuck this, a special 911 enables the rich to snitch on the poor without any good reason, citing “threats”. No specific class of people in a society should have special access to law enforcement.
But who am I kidding. When the SCOTUS ruled that the police protects property and not people, this was the next logical step: protect those with more property than others.
One more step towards a Cyberpunk dystopia. And one more step towards class consciousness, a general strike, and revolution, hopefully.
You know cyberpunk existed before Cyberpunk, right? By like 60+ years.
Don’t miss the forest for the trees, son.
Didn’t think I was, granny
Now you know you were, fuckhead.
No, dick for brains, I don’t even know what you’re talking about.
😬 that’s… Literally what I’m saying, fucky. Good luck out there.
You’re truly delusional
Yeah fuck this, a special 911 enables the rich to snitch on the poor without any good reason, citing “threats”. No specific class of people in a society should have special access to law enforcement.
to be clear, this isn’t new, this has been a thing since celebrities were a thing lmao
This is like the Trauma Team in Cyberpunk. Rich people who can afford the highest tier get a private militarized swat team to go to them any time they’re in trouble.
Except it’s not even private, it’s funded by public taxes, which is EVEN WORSE THAN CYBERPUNK
They’re less like SWAT and more like US Air Force PJs. Basically, super heavily trained paramedics who are also special operations troops.
Trauma team charges 100 Eddies per minute from when you call them until they deliver you to the hospital, plus spend ammunition and medical supplies. They waive the charge if they need 7 minutes or more to get to you, though. (Not relevant in gameplay, as their response time is 1d6 minutes). And they have heavy weapons to fight their way through to you. So, their services are sort of reasonably priced for what they offer. And even if you don’t earn the big bucks, if you live in a Arasaka living facility and eat kibble, you should have enough saved up to pay for their services if you end up needing them. (Of course, living in an Arasaka living facility may lead to you needing their services)
Point being, “Cyberpunk 2020”'s healthcare system is better than America’s.
Well you haven’t changed that much then. That killed me. British comedy really is better about social and government stuff.
America needs to play this on every channel at least once a week for the next four years. So we can reference it every time Trump brings up selling off the FBI to the Pinkertons.
A Bit of Fry and Laurie is criminally underrated in the US, but a lot of it is very topical to the UK.
That’s it, I’m founding my own LLC so I can be a CEO
With each move, the elite prove that they think lowly of the common man.
Errr…you guys have to wait on hold on 911? This isn’t just a joke?
Legit, i thought that thing in only murders was just a bit
Where I live not only do we get put on hold but sometimes they don’t answer (not enough dispatchers) and response time (except for shop lifters which is quick response) is about 4.5 hours for serious stuff and 72 hours, if they do show up according to my own experience and those I know in the community.
Their budget is right over $4 Billion/year. The area I live in gives a boost of around $60 mil/year on top for expanded help so we don’t have to have our own city PD.
Also I wanted to add it’s the Sheriff, so we do contribute to the 4 bill/year via county tax like everyone else and are in their jurisdiction already.
Fantastic return on investment.
Wtf? You’re us-american, right? 4.5hrs? Why even call at all. Makes it totally useless.
At one store of mine, robberies were regular. I had an automatic alarm,which called for cops and they were there not 3 minutes later. Granted their station was just 3 minutes away, but still. Robbers usually managed to find a general direction for what they wanted by that time. But I always had pristine new windows thanks to that 😁
4.5hrs…i could’ve gone there myself. After watching a movie, meeting some friends, doing the taxes and…
There’s a thread of legitimacy to “defending oneself and their property” in the US sure to how poor response times are, but honestly, it’s just stuff. Why risk killing someone or getting killed?
The distinctly inept class-traitors known as cops are understood to really only be there to file paperwork for insurance. Lock your good stuff up in a real safe with time controls.
Man…your cops are so different from ours. Maybe because it’s a real job here with requirements, mental and physical assesment, and even years long training. The assclowns won’t even survive day one of the assessments.
But also yeah, I wouldn’t risk self-defense either (if it’d be allowed). Stuff can be replaced. I just didn’t think of that coz noone carries guns here except cops. And maybe some mobsters. You just call the cops and piss off.
I’m not sure what changed, but NYPD et al have always been at least mildly corrupt. I wonder what changed that got them to forget to be honorable with the people they’re supposed to help.
Like you said, I also doubt many could handle a day in another country.
I wouldn’t wonder about corruption. Bad pay, hard economy and sluggish selection of cops lead to that. That is so sad, especially for a country that loves to see itself as civilization’s tip of the spear.
No wonder people have so much hate for cops
Nah those guys are getting 90k+ per year, almost best employee benefits in the city (after our sanitation guys), and a few other things.
Sluggish selection is a good question. If you look at a video of this incident, the Swedish cops on vacation broke up the brawl professionally and nobody got hurt.
Then and now, multiple people I’ve spoken with have expressed sincere doubt NYPD would have treated them as cleanly.
It’s a joke alright
Yes, in some jurisdictions this is common.
It’s more common in high population areas, but it does happen.
The obsession with running government services like a business results in some notions about efficiency where someone getting paid to work and not being busy all the time is worse than people regularly waiting for critical time sensitive assistance.It also has the zesty side effect of making the dispatch operators overworked and rushed. This usually just manifests as mistakes, but sometimes results in anger and critical mistakes. The famous example of the operator who yelled at a kid for calling because his mom had a seizure in the bath and she didn’t believe him comes to mind.
Just wow. I mean everyone has a really shitty day and stuff can happen,we’re all just human. But dispatcher is one of those jobs that should never be understaffed nor overworked. Like docs or nurses or EMTs or… Jeez…
People’s opinion on insurance: “boy am I glad that’s there if I ever need it”
Their opinion on having extra dispatchers to pick up bursts of activity: “why the fuck are we paying them to sit around”
Both of those things are stuff you pay for but may never need, but only one of them is a human and that’s the one we get upset about.
Simple solution: Don’t murder them in New York.
Ideally don’t murder people, but if you want to blend in, Chicago works in a pinch.
We should normalise saying “just another healthcare denial shooting” like people say “just another gang rivalry shooting”.
Giving them a special CEO hotline that normal folk can’t use isn’t going to make them more popular.
When a school shooting occurs the cops wait outside for the kill count to rack up.

America on that any% speedrun to become Cyberpunk universe… trauma team, anyone?
I’ve said many times the only thing missing between this reality and a cyberpunk dystopia is full-dive VR.
Android XR just got announced. And given they have little to no idea how to use it, it is going to be a full on ad space.
Where’s my fuckin augs? I want to be able to go to the ripper doc to get sweet upgrades and get hired to do corporate espionage!
This is bullshit my chooms.
How would that even work? Like who would qualify? Can’t I just open a small shop and be legally a CEO?
This smells like fake news
