That take is rank fucking idiocy
This is just the beginning ☝🏼
I don’t think Lemmy is the right place for sharing the anti-semetic Happy Merchant caricature.
Cmon she cute just look at her bro. Don’t be stingy and give her some money.😭
Jesus, we have genocidal anime girls now?
Implying we didn’t have them before
You really think this is over? Columbine was a shocking, once in a lifetime event when I was in middle school. By the time I was in college, school shootings were a fact of life. The only difference is that people weren’t rooting for school shooters. They may have caught this guy, but a new era of gun violence is just getting started.
Let’s watch how hard gun control gets pushed when the barrels are aimed at the puppet masters.
Fellow lefties: If it’s safe for you to do so, acquire, train, and responsibly store. That is all.
Sure, Congress will act, but the Supreme Court has spent the last 15 years making sure that even the most moderate, milquetoast gun reforms get struck down. I know the current Justices are hypocrites that make a mockery of precedent, but considering they’re the ones that created the precedent (particularly Alito, Roberts, and Thomas), it’s going to be hard for Congress to write a gun control law that doesn’t force several Justices to either strike it down or invalidated their own opinions.
A constitutional amendment isn’t impossible, but I think the NRA would still have enough juice to prevent Congress from reaching a two-thirds consensus, and definitely enough to stop three-quarters of states from ratifying it. The billionaire class has spent a lot of money making gun control extremely difficult, and I think that’s about to bite them in the ass.
Let’s watch just how nice conservatives are to their reps when someone puts gun control on them.
I’ve kinda always wanted to see it.
I mean, someone literally drove up to one of their softball games and tried to kill them all, and they still didn’t support gun control. It won’t be until the majority of their billionaire oligarchics tell them it’s OK that they’ll start supporting it.
That guy failed. It makes a big difference when they actually get killed.
The only way they’ll get rid of most of the guns is by searching property to property. Many won’t comply with unconstitutional bans. And they don’t have the agreement to change the constitution about this. Too fucking bad, the working class will remain armed. I wish ammo hadn’t gotten so expensive though.
LOL i hope he he they throw away the key
This meme is astroturf propaganda to try to discourage the working class. There are plenty of stories of insurance companies reversing their decisions and approving procedures that they had denied the day before, or not going through with plans to reduce coverage.
That is what happens when the 1% are reminded that they are outnumbered 99 times, and that those with nothing to lose have nothing to fear.
Yep. This never depended one the efforts of one person. It’s going to take all of us working together, and filling in where we’re needed to do our part.
And a dead CEO. Take your wins where you can, it’s almost fascist season.
It’s gonna be a hot fucking summer.
Hottest on record, I hear!
Certified Fed Post
Nonsense.
It was a wake up call for execs to quit their bullshit. It was a wake up call for the working class to band together.
And there is still a very slim chance he gets acquitted.
The conditions that caused this event haven’t gone away. And all of the school shooter types have just been taught that you will be widely regarded as a folk hero for shooting an exec, so they may opt to change their targets for the better. We will probably see more exec shooters.
Less dead children, more dead asshole? Might even reduce therapy cost for parent.
Win win win
It hasn’t even been 24 hours yet
…and a cold dead CEO responsible for stealing our money and leaving us to die. You left that part out.
which 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.
Oh it did! I’m actually surprised (positively) about the vast social-media response.
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.
Then don’t stop shooting them until everything gets better.
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.
* ahem *
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.
On .world is absolutely can and will.
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.
Someone mentioned how the first time there was a school shooter, everyone took note. And now we have school shooters. It’d be interesting if this became a thing.
Jesus christ that’s…amazing.
Is that true? I just checked the reviews for all of the McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania on Google Maps [4] and none of them have been review bombed recently or have any mention of the UHI shooter [1][2][3].

This one has a review posted 12h ago with 800 upvotes mentioning a rat problem in the kitchen:
Good catch. Given that that it’s currently still available [1], I would guess that it’s likely not the case that Google is purging reviews. Imo, one review is hardly review bombing, but at least that’s proof of one claim made by a news outlet [2] (It’s terrible, imo, that we have to be the ones fact checking claims being made by news organizations. Doesn’t that make us the journalists?).

Thanks for the sources! I wish that news articles would actually cite how they know things — it’s annoying to me that their statements regarding the reviews are essentially conjecture — I don’t want to have to feel like I need to just take their word for it.

Yep. When I actually started reading some news articles and quickly found out that I was on my own if I want to learn more or verify what I just read, really put me off that stuff.
When I actually post something informative, it seems crazy to not include the links I already have anyway. And make sure it’s viewable in the wayback machine if it’s something so predictably ephemeral…

Citing sources is a practice that I think is sorely lacking in public discourse currently. I appreciate all efforts to quell misinformation and disinformation.
Their reputation and past reporting is supposed to back up things they state as facts (like assuming that reviews they cite are real) for practicality and brevity. Imagine having to document every bit of background research in a presentable way.
They could have included screenshots though.
And the skepticism is healthy. I do personally ‘trust’ Axios (which I read almost daily but regularly double check).
[…] for […] brevity. […]
I don’t agree that citing sources affects that. For example, anecdotally, a citation can just take the form of a footnote in the document.
[…] for practicality […]
Imagine having to document every bit of background research in a presentable way.
Well, presumably, that’s their job [1]. Being responsible takes effort /s.

Fair point.
All that happened? Did the CEO use scroll of resurrect or something?
They punched another one out of the bubble pack.
They were gonna but the corporate necromancer was out of network.
Just kidding that’d be way too much effort for how they see human lives. They were likely hitting up LinkdIn before the body was cold.
No, the company used “appoint some other asshat to do the exact same shit” (or if they hasn’t yet they soon will)
It’s like the mustache-twirling movie villains when an underling gets merc’d for a hairbrained strategy:
“Congratulations, number 3. You’ve been promoted! Go get 'em!”
“The last guy got killed in the street for doing this shit, you’re going to do the exact same shit right?”
That douche bag CEO isn’t gunna get his life back and so on top of the reviews we got:
- One dead asshole, hell yea.
- That one company rolling back their decision to charge even more for anesthesia.
- A whole lot of people learning even more about how fucked up healthcare really is.
- A bit of an uptick in class solidarity
- One step in the right direction.
Shut the hell up, is what I’m trying to say.
It gave us a tiny fleeting look into a world where a united working class has power and outnumbers the ruling class.
FYI they only rolled back that change in one single state. The change will still happen in other states.
Sounds like we need 49 more adjustments.
But that requires more Luigis
Well I have some kinky shit I wanna get into before I go to prison.
This is far from over, this pot is about to boil
