United Healthcare CEO was targeted
Politics is the building block of social life. In nature, there are no laws other than the laws of action and consequence, the law of the jungle. Animals kill each other to survive, and the concept of fairness wasn’t yet invented. It was waiting for mankind to arrive.
With the arrival of the so-called "intelligence" came the laws of civilization, but they are also based on a power struggle. At times, high ideals defended the interests of all. But high ideas are quickly prayed to by greed.
Thus, the idea of politics was born to minimize the struggle so everyone can live in peace. The reverse side of political negotiation is war. When we can no longer reconcile our needs or are able to have negotiations, the outcome is always war. In war, there are no rules and only a battle to take back what we desperately need and what belongs to us. In war, all reasoning ceases, and total destruction becomes the only solution. "War sometimes sends a small message."
The drums of war have been rolling for a long time; they represent years of dissatisfaction and unresolved grievances around the world, including the United States. The horrors of war are known to those who experienced them firsthand, and we are well informed that nothing good comes out of it, and in the end, no one wins. "Yet, war will always happen."
Wars are not only glorified battles like those in history books. They are also small acts of isolated carnage or threats. The objective of wars is to take back the resources that have been aggressively stripped from people over a long period or suddenly. War is born out of years of oppression perpetrated by those who hold power against those who are constantly losing power and access to life-given goods.
War fester and grows after the progressive misappropriation and erosion of human rights. The powerless is pushed to its breaking point, and at that point, the tide begins to reverse its course. The powerless and oppressed see no exit and no relief but to react, and the horrors of war seem like a reward for their dignified struggle.
War never happens unless our basic necessities are taken away: food, shelter, and other basic necessities such as education, healthcare, and land. The erosion of these basic goods will push man into war. It has happened many times before, and it will happen again.
The assassination of the head of an organization, who is perceived to have caused harm to many, is not a random event. It is an act of war. The victims become a casualty of war. The attacked no longer have a name, and their personal life is irrelevant. They become the face of the oppression. "A target."
Do I agree with assasination? No I don't, but I also don't agree with people placed in high positions of power responsible for the welfare of millions who are not doing their jobs.
The highest form of abuse and human perversion is when those in places of power, those who are hired to protect us, now become the oppressors seeking personal gain. When governments and institutions no longer serve the people and those they were hired to protect.
At every level, we find ourselves in a perfect storm for war in the present-day United States. Institutions that were created to provide services for all and paid for with public money are privatized and become profit centers even though they still, in great part, use taxpayers' money. "That is called fraud, last time I checked."
Healthcare Systematic violence
The privatization of public paid services is an act of violence. It is a chronic act of violence, and the victims die quietly and out of the public eye. It can go on for decades until it can't go anymore because it reaches the limits of what society can take.
But nothing is more is more telling than the public reaction to the United Healthcare CEO's assassination. The internet was instantly flooded with commentaries. All of them said the same thing: the crime was in response to the unfairness and abuses of our perverse health services and insurance. Don't believe it? Here's the message from the shooter himself, loud and clear.
The words “deny,” “defend” and “depose” were found emblazoned on the ammunition, echoing a phrase used by insurance industry critics, two law enforcement officials said Thursday. (source AP)
Now, we know the truth, and it is out there for everyone to see. And why healthcare in the United States is the most corrupt and perverse industry? Let me try to explain because I do work in healthcare.
You see, healthcare is for profit in this country, but two variables make it more egregious than any other business venture. The first is that healthcare is a for-profit business, like any other business. However, the profits come from public money paid by taxpayers who should be getting these services for free.
You pay a small monthly fee for your entire life, so when you need the service, you'll be cared for almost free of expenses. So, let's say you paid into the system all your life, and now you're sick, but they charge you a bill as if you never paid anything, usually a bill that will surely bankrupt you. "What should be obvious never happens and is now accepted as the norm."
Medical debt is the leading cause of bankruptcy in the United States. A 2022 study shows that with roughly 41% of Americans in some form of medical debt, declaring medical bankruptcy can be necessary. Medical bankruptcies can devastate families, leading to a loss of homes, assets, and financial security. However, as a last resort, it can help you get out of a debilitating situation. That said, there are some critical points to know before declaring bankruptcy or even before taking out medical loans. (personal finance)
The wolf in sheep's clothes
But the second most amazing insult is this: because healthcare services are essential and are viewed as an almost altruistic endeavor. For-profit healthcare businesses take full advantage of this image and call themselves "not for profit" through a series of loopholes. So, in the end, their status allows them to not pay taxes, and not even that, but depending on how corrupt their accountants are, they end up getting tax returns from federal and state governments. Wow! Mafia bosses say: How do I get a deal like that, Tony? Those guys are making a killing.
Don't worry; Trump has concepts of a plan
And here's the concept. To replace the CEOs of the largest governmental organizations in the country with not only 100% unqualified people but people who are radically opposed to these organizations they are being hired to lead. "This kind of violence will inevitably lead to war."
When governments no longer participate in the democratic process and want to use taxpayer funds for their own interest, it is called robbery and an act of war. We might as well don't pay any taxes. What for? But there are other options. We can become intelligent and prevent war by providing the services we have paid for. It is that simple. "Will it happen? Probably not."
Ooh, a storm is threatening.
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Ooh yeah, I'm gonna fade away
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
