MODERATORS
They just really want to be the stars of their own Bastille Day.
Maybe...just fucking maybe...basic human needs like healthcare should not be for-profit.
"Limbs aren’t necessary."
- Brian Thompson, probably.
I mean, he doesn't need them anymore
By this logic, I'm wondering if beds are medically necessary.
Or maybe the CEOs could just donate their limbs - after all, if artificial ones aren't necessary, are true limbs really?
Casual reminder that it’s never not healthcare CEO season.
Which insurers? I truly cannot find this in the article
"eh, a peg leg will do"
If you company is run like my rimworld coming, something is going very wrong
Perhaps other things shouldn't be necessary like health insurance or the companies etc that exist just to screw people over. 😉
