I'm not a super fan of either of these guys, but on this we can agree: if we hit the tech-bros where it hurts - all our monthly subscriptions to them - we can squeeze their wallet, send a message, *and* take some money BACK.

Real talk, though: I don't know which I hate more right now, cancer or our for-profit "healthcare" system - this (not especially) poor guy had had to set himself up a GoFundMe last year because he couldn't afford all his cancer treatments.

I'm sure this is all being vehemently decried as, "FAKE! RADICAL LEFT LIES!", etc. right now.
But there has to be a *tiny* percentage who are giving pause. I mean, they were up in arms/ready to kill over "PizzaGate", the ACTUAL made-up pedo-ring shit.
I don't fucking know. /smfh

AOC: You're the CEO of CVS Health? And CVS owns Aetna? And also owns Oak Street Medical clinics? Which allows you 100% control over prescription prices. Do you see a problem here?

Go watch "Andor" right now. If you like Star Wars, hate it, or are completely ambivalent about it.
It's a slow, methodical look at the rise of fascism through fear, ambivalence and willful ignorance.
And queue up "Rogue One" immediately afterwards. ;)
