For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Meddit is pretty high quality so it doesn't surprise me. They don't like too much shit posting by people without flair.
Life is short and filled with potential that sometimes met and other times robbed.
Having lost many members of my family, I don't wish it on others.
Edit--------
So I would suggest that anyone actually learn to read what is written. It's like taking to 5 year old that jump to conclusions..... Seriously people, I don't care about this Billionaire, I won't be someone who will sya that murder is good and let's purge all rich people. That is not constructive and I value life, not death. So many of you suffered from health insurance but when you come to vote you vote like most Americans do, not in my backyard. I don't want socialism, governments not coming to take my money or guns....
No offence but private health care didn't happen over night. You live in one of the greatest democratic institutions but simy chose not to use your tools. That is why corruption runs amok, none of you want to stand up and unite yourself with other Americans because you are all so bloody individualist. All other countries with universal healthcare didn't just get it by miracle, it was work and commitment to the greater good which means not getting into hissy fights for every little thing.
How about listening to George Carlin to. Illuminate your minds... Seriously America, everyone in the world has been telling you that you have a problem, stop gaslighting us.
OH FUCK RIGHT OFF. “We don’t use our institutions” no moron, our institutions are designed to be a facade of representative democracy when in reality any type of progressive pushback against our healthcare system gets tanked intentionally by well placed spoilers such as joe Lieberman.
They made peaceful change impossible so violence is what they’re getting and what they fucking DESERVE. They’re committing social murder and profiting!! off of it living lavish lives of luxury while my family suffers - I lost my dad and my house. These people deserve to die.
We tried the nice way. Now it’s time they find out what the second amendment really stands for. Bunch of fucking tyrants and pearl clutching bootlickers carrying the water for them. Do better.
Good choice by the mods to lock that first thread.
