I know all of us who understand what is happening are experiencing mental health challenges because of that.

The only message of comfort I can offer to this community of readers is this: you are correct.

What you think is happening is really happening, and is just as concerning as you think it is.

Brace yourselves, mask up, and prepare to fight back. Join, or learn how to form, a union at work to protect your income (and your lives) especially if you are considered an essential worker.

Why do we allow it?
My house caught fire. I called the Fire Dept but they refused b/c I don't have fire insurance

Sounds absurd right?

Meanwhile since Mangione allegedly killed the UnitedHealth CEO, ~6000 people have died due to denied care from insurance corps. Why do we allow it? www.qasimrashid.com/p/americas-h...

Let’s be clear: A woman who was injured in the New Orleans terror attack was denied PTO by Amazon until we took action.

Meta was launching ai influencers but deleted them after we took action.

BlueCross was going to deny anesthesia during duration of surgery until we took action.

🍌🍌🍌 For scale
Conservatives yell “socialism” at every initiative designed to help people.

Maybe you've heard the word a few times already today.

But this is nothing more than an old scare tactic.

A functioning government requires pooling resources for the common good. Let me explain.
