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.
They didn’t pay less than $1000 for healthcare. They paid $1000 in addition to their insurance. In developed countries you pay for your healthcare and then you don’t pay for it again when you actually use it.
You are correct. I should have included the normal payments in the total but my spouse pays that so I don’t know what it is.
In developed civilized countries, you pay according to your ability to pay, because it’s not a business: it’s a common service, we don’t want anyone to go without.
