Profits before people
So I looked up the account on the screenshot and fell into a huge rabbit hole.
The TL;DR is that the poster has a rare syndrome that makes it so his body simply doesn’t have energy to perform most tasks, and it progressed to a point where merely interacting with other people causes his brain to use too much “energy” and makes him crash.My TL;DR is a gross oversimplification of his story and doesn’t do it any justice. When you have the time, please read what he has to say, it’s eye opening: My Story by Whitney Dafoe
Thanks for sharing. I have ME/CFS too.
It’s not even that rare over 2 million people in the US have it, just quite a marginalised illness, mostly because it majoritarily affects women and was therefore blamed on “hysteria” till the 80s. A lot of the medical system still has prejudicicial views towards it.
A decent chunk of the more severe Long COVID cases fit ME diagnosis criteria, which makes sense, because most ME cases have historically been caused by viral infections.
Wishing you the best.
you too. Really appreciate you looking into it. Most people just don’t care, so it really makes me feel seen, thank you.
inb4 Mexican cartels start selling Mexican insulin and other medicine to broke Americans at lower prices.
Republican “Death Panels”
But it’s ok because they’re profitable.
Just because Trump won doesn’t mean he’s running things yet. Technically, the Biden administration is still in charge until January. This is happening on their watch.
The US, by withholding any medical treatments and assistentance is actually on big eugenic experiment
Psychopaths control important things and leverage them for money and power and influence so they can get away with being psychopaths without going to prison.
Bro just lick a block of iron
Better yet, take my blood. I don’t process iron like others and it accumulates in my body. The only treatment is bloodletting (therapeutic phlebotomy).
it’s efficiency for corporation to exploit the poor. when people like elon promotes deregulation = efficiency, they just leave the latter part on purpose.
I wonder if it is feasible to book a trip to Canada or Mexico and just buy it there. I guess pharmacies accept prescriptions of 'Murican doctors there, if patients pay themselves…
Not possible in this case Check the other comments :)
I didn’t find anything regarding that. I only found a fellow German who thought about shipping that stuff from Germany…
I mentioned in many of the other replies that they are bedridden, meaning they can’t even leave their room.
Fuckingcapitalists
Can I donate some? I have unbelievably high iron levels for some reason
Maybe consider donating your blood (its not quite “donation” in the USA though, is it?).
I’m not in the USA, so I guess that doesn’t concern me
But I do smoke (or, well, did, been a month dry and clean as shit) so I don’t think they’d want my fucked up blood lol
The red cross doesn’t exclude donors if they use cannabis. I don’t think it matters to other organizations either.
Simple. You need it to live and will pay the cost.
Reagan loved to talk about ‘deregulation’ when what he was really talking about was letting businesses steal from consumers.
What do you think deregulating is outside of that?
The brainwashed thinks that if industry had less red tape, they’d be able to innovate more, let the market decide pay and hiring, and cost us less taxes in monitoring. All despite history proving that it only leads to the rich getting richer and more powerful while everyone else becomes peasants.
That’s why all Trump voters are just dumbfucks. Some of them think they’re the strong men that will get to take advantage of the weak in this system, but they’re really just dumb sheep that tongue a butthole up to middle management at best. They’re the ones who picked on special needs kids at school because punching down is easy and they need a win.
What they don’t understand is how e.g. cutting jobs, or not providing necessary goods and services (e.g. enough bolts to keep something attached to the outside of an airplane? The lack of which causing said thing to fall off mid-flight), etc. is the very self-same “innovation” that they were promised. As in, it delivers stock dividends to the shareholders, thus functions as intended.
We arguably deserve what is coming for us. Though damn I wish there was some way to avoid the worst of it.

That happens in a small economy, without thoroughly entrenched trillion dollar companies. But eventually the most ruthless companies will kill all of the other companies, dominate everything, and operate with impunity. That’s where we are now.
Elon fucking Musk is getting a position created for him that’s going to be the kill the poor department and he is naming it after a meme.
Destroying the planet, dumping toxic waste into low-income communities, literally killing their employees and customers with unsafe practices.
And then complaining that those customers are to blame that their business is tanking when in reality they just made them too poor to buy the product and/or killed them off but they will get a bailout anyway because they are “too big to fail”.
Ah, I was just lumping that into them stealing the livelihood of their community, but absolutely yes.
Killing people - speed and amount varie
The stealing of livelihood
Don’t forget he was also talking about letting companies dump toxic waste into our drinking water supply.
It’s not theft. It’s price gouging.
“wtf is wrong with this country”
LOL buckle up
Unfortunately, people like this likely won’t make it. So I have a hard time laughing about it.
it’s fucking gut-wrenching. i’ve been severely depressed since wednesday morning. what everyone needs to do now is stop asking what’s wrong with the country, and start asking how do i get out
My co-worker damaged a piece of one of my tools on Wednesday. I was trying to fix it and I almost started to cry. Had to take a break. It’s a five dollar thing. It wasn’t about the tool.
No, they need to ask, “How do I fight back?” Become the resistance. That’s what I’m doing. I’ve been putting my fear and anger into exercising and getting stronger to fight for my country.

In America, your entire existence is a money making opportunity for someone else.
The land of opportunity… (Opportunity to exploit the less fortunate). Freedom costs a buck-o-five, have you paid yours?
