Ask Janice Soprano how that worked out for her.

A perfect reason to burn down the health care system.

All aboard the crazy train.

This is what they voted for

3k0bolds.bsky.social•63 days ago

This is what everyone voted for. Kamala didn't support universal healthcare, either.

And they can't figure out why so many people just stayed home.

Clearly someone else could use that custom made leg. Someone who can afford the luxury of movement!

You know what, guys? in this country, the poor are heavily armed, too.

"Twenty years ago, when the corporations bailed out our failed governments, they sold it to us as salvation. Now we see that we have paid for that rescue with our freedoms. We have awakened to the truth; we have become slaves to the corporate congress. 1/3

Today, all that changes. Let the word go forth from this time and place to friend and foe alike that we have passed the torch to a new generation unwilling to permit the undoing of human rights and dignities. 2/3

And let every corporation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price in order to assure the survival and success of liberty." -Edouard Kagame

Heh.. doubt that'll ever happen.

It's a up and coming police state, largest police force in the world.

The gov't has been building it up for so long, and they'll use em!

God speed!

repoing people's prosthetic limbs is something i wrote in a cyberpunk novel once to be a little detail about how bad the world was

patrickdusablon.bsky.social•63 days ago

Billionaire taking control of the government, even over the president-elect? Check.

Prosthetics being repossessed? Check.

I think we've stumbled into a Cyberpunk timeline.

Pure evil sickness

There's literally a movie about this shit.
A musical, even.

I have Medicare and it paid for a prosthesis with a microprocessor knee. Medicare for all!

xanreal.bsky.social•63 days ago

Clearly they don’t respect (fear) us enough.

iplayguitarbad.bsky.social•63 days ago

It's funny how reporting on fucking repo of prosthetics is reported with no moral component, as if it's just a natural phenomena. No human agency, no one to blame, it's just something that happens!

iplayguitarbad.bsky.social•63 days ago

And interestingly the article refers to "the insurer" and AFAIK doesn't actually name the insurer. "The insurer [subject] has at her job."

Words out, we can't even name companies that denigrate us while taking our money.

Name names, you cowards!

davecarlton.bsky.social•63 days ago

Maybe we should similarly take these people's limbs. Isn't that a thing? 'fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; whatever injury he has given a person shall be given to him.' Hmm.

i-am-nomad.bsky.social•63 days ago

Reminds me of the movie "Repo Men"

If I had a prosthetic and someone tried to repossess it, they'd get an ass full of lead

grainneog.bsky.social•63 days ago

Repossessing… limbs.
