    which is great, but let be honest : it accomplish nothing , unless as a reaction, people act and do something about billionaires rulling the world. one star review bomb wont cut it

      A surgery that my little one needed was being denied by insurance two weeks ago. Yesterday when calling for the pre surgery instructions we were notified that last surgery was approved. So we were doing all three requested surgeries at once and only having to put her under once.

      I don’t know if this was the cause but there was a 180 on the approval.

      It sends a message and that message was heard. Rolling Stone and probably other outlets, published an article talking about the collective disdain that the working class has expressed in the wake towards the healthcare industry—a hatred that reaches across aisles. It’s a tiny reminder that the working class outnumber the ruling class. Don’t rule out more things happening. People get inspired.

      Insurance companies behaved themselves for a few days. That’s already saved lots of lives, making the whole thing balance out as a positive.

      I’d be banned by the admins for suggesting how this momentum could be kept going.

        This is ml. I don’t think violence against the rich or jury nullification can get you a ban

          Their account is on lemmy.world so I’m not sure how it would be treated. We, however, are not.

          Rhetoric: down with the bourgeoisie, eat the rich, sodomize the land-owners, impale all people who have more than 25 reál in their pocket, literally murder all human beings regardless of their political beliefs.

            I think that the instance admins can’t ban their users in other instances communities or delete their comments. But the is one of this things that is weird about federation.

      which accomplish nothing

      Seems to have accomplished something. What are you doing about it? Trying to stir shit up from abroad I assume. How about you fuck right off and let us deal with it.
