I’ve been on quite the social media hiatus but wanted to break it to at least move my profile here from the old place. Really in a place mentally where I’ll still probably limit my social media, even here, but wanted to get this message out so y’all know it’s me and I’m real and not a bot.

Thank you! There’s too much news on this CEO’s murder & too little on murders this corporation & its leaders committed that drove LM to act. Murder is wrong, whether by a person or a corporation AND the people leading it who are responsible for the actions, policies & practices of that corporation.

I would argue our “society”, by cheering on the profits that these companies make for themselves and their shareholders above all else, a product of their organized murder of patients/policy holders, are “acts of violence” that have happened every day before this one, that day, and the days since.

They don’t need Social Security.
Not one penny.
They don’t need Medicaid or Medicare, either.
