Growing up in a time when “selling out” was the most shameful thing you could do and then being forced to live through the 2020s feels like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

It's legit difficult to think of a more appropriate name than the monster who prevents people from leaving the land of the dead. An even more accurate name than the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, since Magneto has several points
Cerberus, a private equity firm, buys a chain of hospitals, sells the land on which they sit, and charges them rent. The hospitals struggle and start cutting corners. Patients' care worsens, death rates climb. And Cerberus makes $790 million in profit.
Health care accounts for more than 17 per cent of the U.S. economy, or around $4.5 trillion dollars, but the revenues of just two companies—CVS/Aetna and UnitedHealth—account for nearly one in every seven dollars the nation spends on health care.

The reason my bags aren’t packed is this is my home, I won’t yield it to shitbirds, and if fascists win, I’ll spend the rest of my life trying to undermine them, never giving them a moment’s peace and making their already miserable lives as additionally miserable as possible.
Are the mocking conservatives too stupid to know or too dishonest to admit that:
• electing fascists doesn’t always mean Hitler 1933—e.g. Hungary 2010, Philippines 2016
• Jewish emigration from Nazi Germany was around 5-7% a year 1933-37, and more than a third stayed www.nytimes.com/2024/11/01/o...

Not only arrested for "hacking" an open website but had his entire workplace seized so he's functionally been unable to work for nine months, with his office held hostage by the FBI and six figures in legal bills going up and up and up.
How the f–– do federal prosecutors charge someone for “hacking” what’s publicly available? What next, tossing some of us in jail for using a raw resource address to download some Twitter video in, like, 2015?
