Listen to Malcolm X if you haven’t. In history, reformation follows revolutionary acts. While there are those who preach peace, there are also those who use violence to achieve peace. Those in power obviously don’t like to shed light on those that may take up violent acts.

I doubt if the french revolution was occuring today that CNN, CBS, The Washington Post, etc, would say anything. And if they did it would be to demonize the acts.

In the wake of the alleged shooting by Luigi Mangione, insurance providers started approving claims, saving lives. I don’t see major networks pointing out that fact.

      Have you ever had a major medical event? If so, did your insurance company require your doctor to go through their “approved” methods for treatment before they could do what they actually thought would most quickly and effectively treat your condition? Have you ever been brought by ambulance to an emergency room that is “out of network?” Have you ever been billed for something you thought insurance was going to cover because the medical coder input a different code than the insurance company will approve? If you’ve never had any of these things happen to you, you have no concept of whether or not your insurance is “good.” Or you’re in a union and your insurance IS actually good. Lucky you in that case.

        Yes I’m using it a lot right now.

        My spouse helped organize a union and I’m under their insurance so that part is correct.

          That’s excellent! My dad had union health insurance for a while and it was actually very good.
