What a nightmare. I'm really sorry that this happened to you.

Can you say more about not paying that bill? I've already had run ins with American healthcare, with comparable outcomes, and I don't understand the consequences of not paying the bill.

Sure, so this is on apple podcasts and seems to be episode specific. Some episodes work normally while for others I get the following error: as soon as I hit 'play', a notification pops up that reads "This episode couldn't be played. Please try again." and produces no sound. Since this is episode specific maybe the bug is on their end, but I'll make a brief list of working and broken episodes here so the bug can hopefully be reproduced. I should also mention that I was previously subscribed to their unpaid feed in case that makes a difference.

Working episodes:

  • Bonus: the rise and fall of the American constitutional model ep. 4

  • This week in history, July 31-August 6

Broken episodes:

  • News- Israel assassinations, US-Russia Prisoner swap, ...

  • Special - 2024 Venezuel Presidential Election

  • Special - Israel assassinations in Iran and Lebanon

Do you know of any research on this? It matches my intuition that this could happen but I'd be curious if sociologists/anthropologists had taken a look

Yeah I've seen that reported by Scahill's new outfit Dropsite News (which btw seems good so far, I'm a free subscriber and I've already gotten like 4 very good articles from Scahill on middle east politics in the last ~2 weeks).

Comrade, others have had good responses already so I won't try to give you facts/arguments, I don't know that much about the subject anyway. But I'll tell you about my experiences because they were all good, and hopefully positive thoughts will put your mind at ease.

I was in a very bad accident once where I was knocked unconscious in a brutal manner (think traumatic brain injury). And let me tell you, it is one of nature's great mercies that we are programmed such that I can't remember that accident at all. Not one bit. Not like going to sleep, just complete, utter blackness with nothing in the void. Perfect unconsciousness. I've also been anesthetized a few times and that's how I'd describe every one of those experiences: perfect unconsciousness with absolutely nothing registering at all. It isn't like sleep, it is something blessedly less active. I know it sounds weird to say but I'm very pro-anesthesia. We can't deny that things can go wrong, but this is one of those things like plane crashes - we fixate on what goes wrong (I say this as a nervous flier). Many more things go right. Hang in there!
