I don't think a Democrat in office will be able to stop them-- Biden because they're his people, the other possible choices because they will lack the political capital after fairly tight wins to be able to force the issue when so much of the public is fine with random attacks on minorities. The FBI didn't need "political capital" to secretly infiltrate groups focused on socialism, environmentalism, and civil rights with the explicit intention of weakening and discrediting them. They just loving did it, and kept the details secret. There's no reason they can't do the same to white nationalist groups, other than the fact that there's probably plenty of white nationalists in the FBI.

See they admit it: "Anthem declined to comment for this story. UC Irvine, where Bard said the care was excellent, said that cases like Bard’s are unusual but may happen in 1% to 2% of births. The hospital tries to work with patients when they get stuck with the bills, a UC Irvine spokesman said." Only a 1:100 or 1:50 chance of complete and utter financial devastation because you didn't follow subsection 23.5 (c) on page 800 of the pdf they gave you a link to six years ago!

LeeMajors posted:I'd like to go one day without feeling like apathy is the only way to avoid insanity in this rotten goddamned hellscape of gentleman's agreements and one-way justice. Friend, don't give in to despair. Instead channel that frustration into hope and join me in promoting the idea of a general strike. Reform is impossible to accomplish by incrementalism, all incrementalism ever accomplishes (in practice) is to ameliorate the most visible of the symptoms- but it never treats the disease. The disease in cannot be treated until the system has been actively antagonized and directly threatened, only then can true reform happen. The system no longer fears the body politic; and until the body politic forces the system to feel fear again nothing will change and all our efforts will be for naught. General strike now!

It's the stupidest loving thing. I have a high deductible health plan, which is supposed to encourage me to shop around and find the lowest price. I actually managed to do this when I hurt my knee. I got the urgent care to give me a price for at least some of their services. I gave them my insurance info and waited for the bill. My insurance never got the bill. It would still have saved me money, despite the stratospheric deductible, because of negotiated rates. When I went back to the clinic, they looked through the notes on my account and helpfully explained that, because I pushed so hard to know how much it would cost, the person working the front desk assumed I didn't have insurance. So they just didn't bother submitting it. Space Gopher fucked around with this message at 16:30 on Nov 4, 2019 |

Oh, I'm sure something like the Pinkertons would appear. (I think they still technically exist) But it really doesn't matter, a general strike is the only viable path we have to avert both fascism and climate collapse. Incrementalism has completely failed to address either of these problems and we need to start thinking along other lines. Imo we can all either simply watch with impotent rage as subpoenas are ignored and Democratic Leadership refuses to exercise the power they've been imbued with; or we can start talking about people power/a vision of the future filled with hope for our children.

(I think they still technically exist) Not only did they not go away, they're doing a ton of business as "security consultants" (mercenaries) for Fortune 500s and the hyper-wealthy. Climate change means chaos, people see that it's coming, and chaos is good for their line of work. https://newrepublic.com/article/147619/pinkertons-still-never-sleep Here's one example - but it mostly focuses on their "private intelligence agency" type work. But, they've staffed up with people who have special forces experience and no problem shooting others for a paycheck, too. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/04/10/magazine/climate-change-pinkertons.html quote:I was seated in the rear row next to Rakov, a marketing officer who, at 51, had recently shifted his career from more traditional P.R. to Pinkerton. He was now fully fluent in the language of tactical response. He chimed in to observe that preparing for a disaster can carry its own risks. He gave the example of a drought. “If a client has food and water and all the other stuff,” he said, “then they become a target.” López Portillo and Paz Larach uttered small words of consensus in Spanish, while scanning through email on their phones. “And if and when desperate people discovered that cache of water and food,” he continued, it was the Pinkertons’ job to protect it at whatever cost. Literally "it's our business to murder starving peasants who want food and water." Space Gopher fucked around with this message at 16:46 on Nov 4, 2019 |

There is real power in willful non-compliance; the system cannot function if the people refuse to turn the gears or deliver supplies. The people hold the power, not the system. gently caress the system, it should serve us. The fact that it refuses to and instead desires to grind us all to dust means it's time to remind the system that the only reason it exists is to serve we the people.

Space Gopher posted:This is some late capitalist horror movie poo poo. "You didn't follow the monster's rules, and trusted somebody who you only thought was helpful, so you deserve whatever happened to you." When my kid was born there were 2-3 rounds of phone calls, to the correct insurance number, to get them added to our insurance plan. Each time the person on the phone assured us that she had been added successfully, and then a couple of days later we'd check the website and see that this was not the case. I don't like to think about what would have happened had expensive medical care been required during that period before the registration was successful. This whole discussion reminds me of Pelosi's interview from a few days ago criticizing medicare for all. She just fundamentally doesn't understand why people might hate the entire health insurance industry and want to scrap it.
