Listen to Malcolm X if you haven’t. In history, reformation follows revolutionary acts. While there are those who preach peace, there are also those who use violence to achieve peace. Those in power obviously don’t like to shed light on those that may take up violent acts.

I doubt if the french revolution was occuring today that CNN, CBS, The Washington Post, etc, would say anything. And if they did it would be to demonize the acts.

In the wake of the alleged shooting by Luigi Mangione, insurance providers started approving claims, saving lives. I don’t see major networks pointing out that fact.

      It literally depends on how nice your employer wants to be.

      I have a great job now, but I lost two jobs during the covid years. For one of them, my insurance lasted until the end of the next month or something like that, in addition to some severance pay.

      For the other, it ended immediately. Like if you have a doctor appointment tomorrow morning that shit will not be paid for. If you wake up sick, maybe call a bankruptcy attorney because we won’t be answering your calls.

        Wow, I’ve never heard of one where it ends as soon as employment does; usually it lasts until the end of the current month.

      Well I have it through my spouse so nothing lol.

      But yeah I agree having it tied to employment is problematic. However I did have state insurance when I was unemployed so it’s not like I wouldn’t have insurance, it just would probably be worse than what I have now.
