i hate when people write about wilson and call him an anarchist hes not in the slightest. hes alt right as gently caress

quote:

On that subject, he has something else to show me. Wilson pulls out a small embroidered badge. It depicts a red, dismembered arm on a white background. The arm's hand grips a curved sword, with blood dripping from it. The symbol, Wilson explains, once flew on a flag above the Goliad Fort in South Texas. In Texas' revolution against Mexico in the 1830s, Goliad's fort was taken by the Mexican government and became the site of a massacre of 400 American prisoners of war, one that's far less widely remembered than the Alamo.

Wilson recently ordered a full-size flag with the sword-wielding bloody arm. He wants to make it a new symbol for his group. His interest in the icon, he explains, dates back to the 2016 election, when he was convinced Hillary Clinton was set to become the president and lead a massive crackdown on firearms.

If that happened, as Wilson tells it, he was ready to launch his Defcad repository, regardless of the outcome of his lawsuit, and then defend it in an armed standoff. "I’d call a militia out to defend the server, Bundy-style," Wilson says calmly, in the first overt mention of planned armed violence I've ever heard him make. "Our only option was to build an infrastructure where we had one final suicidal mission, where we dumped everything into the internet," Wilson says. "Goliad became an inspirational thing for me."

This is your reminder that Texans violently seceded from two separate countries in defence of slavery.

How are virtual visits cheaper?

The alternative is I get myself to the doctor’s office and sit in the waiting room.

I guess they save marginally on waiting room real estate, but the doctor’s time is the big cost, and my visit is occupying the same amount of that either way, right?

So are they scrimping by offshoring doctor or what?

they are certainly cheaper to do since you cant really do any sort of examination over a web chat

i also recall reading at some point that webchat appoints have substantially higher rates of prescriptions being issued so i wouldnt be surprised if part of their business appeal is how they dovetail with the painkiller overprescription racket

So the idea is that instead of “well let’s take a look at you” (= time consuming and expensive) they go “take these pills and call me if you don’t drop get better or drop dead”.

Got it.
