            You must know health insurance has a contract with pages of what is covered what is not. But cool, jump on the popular bandwagon for upvotes.

              The native americans had lots of contracts and agreements with the U.S. government. It didn’t mean shit, and the government was still tyrannical.

              A contract is meaningless when corporations can:

              • bulldoze any citizen they like with legal teams
              • force people to have go through arbitration
              • delay and deny claims to demoralize claimants even if they have a valid claim
              • and AIs that deny cases for the sake of it

              They wield what is essentially unchecked and arbitrary power to the detriment of the people. It is cruel. It is oppressive. It fits the definition of tyranny easily.

              Yeah, and King George III had all sorts of shit written down that people in governing roles agreed to. People under tyranny were pretty upset and tried diplomacy back then as well. Violence is what eventually solved it, and the people that went through that wanted to make sure violence was always an option, hence the 2nd amendment. Anyone, Republican or Democrat, that says otherwise is just wrong.

              I don’t think recalling 15 pages of legal jargon is on someone’s mind when they need emergency medical care. But hey, they totally deserved it for taking an ambulance instead of driving themselves to the nearest in-network hospital 90 minutes away /s

      I have been called a bootlicker for saying I think he probably killed Thompson. This is what actual bootlicking looks like

        And killing Thompson is the whole reason people elevate him. If Luigi Mangione is actually just some random dude getting his McD’s after working on his fan-fiction manifesto and printing out copycat fake IDs for lols, then the story isn’t really about Luigi.
