    I think they actually feel a little unsafe. Holy shit YES

    (It actually probably wasn't due to this. They only retracted the policy in one state)

    When peaceful options such as strikes, protests, and lobbying do not work. Once, people hit the tipping point of "I have reasons not to die to fuck it, I have nothing left." People will choose violence.

    It was bound to get to this point eventually. Who was it who said something about what happens when all avenues for change are removed except for the point of a blade?

    Many have said similar things through the years, perhaps most appropriately from a US President only 60 years ago. On March 13, 1962 by John F. Kennedy, “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable”.

    Someone is pearl clutching at me on Bluesky for saying how delighted I am, and saying how this guy has a family. Well so so the people he denies health care to, especially this kid.

    It's worse, they fucking approved the chemotherapy, but not the anti nausea drugs for it. Absolute monsters, "oh we'll save your life kiddo, but we're going to make you suffer for it".

    Tbh that is why we should make memes that casually mention this very tragic incident whenever health insurance companies suggest any policy that sucks more money out of ordinary people, nurses and doctors' pockets.
