We are now learning of even more patients who have died waiting for care. Yet the UCP still refuses to take responsibility or acknowledge the crisis.

Capitalism as designed. Late stage capitalism. As the facade drops to reveal fascism.
The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.
The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.
Read that back.
When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.
