  I wanna thank spez for fucking up reddit which kickstarted the beginning of a new era. The Fediverse Era.

  You have been federated, do not resist.

    To bad about lemmy.world doing everything they can to be reddit 2.0.

    Oh well, hopefully this will drive people away from centralization

  I am sitting here, in incredible pain from a combined sinus and ear infection, waiting for the antibiotics I need to be shipped to me in 3-5 business days because my insurance will only provide prescription coverage through Express Scripts and not a retail pharmacy.

  This same insurance company has also denied to cover a surgery they have prior auth for, denied coverage for routine lab work that is expressly covered, waited months to review disputed charges and gotten them sent to collections, and forced me into a lower tier of coverage twice due to premium increases.

  The kicker? I work in the health insurance industry. But I’m not an exec, just a support worker.

  They can try to stop the online support all they want, but they should know that the active censorship will only cause people to go elsewhere. This issue is uniting everyone who watches the evening news, and they can’t risk not covering the story because they are hoping to make an example of him.

    Damn, I hope your infection doesn’t progress. Stay strong

      Thankfully it won’t, but I had to deal with more of their shenanigans.

      Did you know that they refuse to transfer a prescription if they haven’t filled it at least once? I had to call the urgent care clinic back and have them transfer it instead.

      Bless the retail pharmacy worker who walked me through how to get everything in order and got me discount coupons. It took them 30 minutes to fill and cost me a total of $15. So I will be okay, but in spite of Express Scripts, who gave me an ETA of the 17th, more than a week after the script was ordered.

  You know, they just make clear to us how effective it was. Had they handled it like any other murder, there wouldn’t be a support movement that practically calls for others to do the same.

    ?

    Like people would still celebrate the ceo dying regardless. I mean, once the news reported “Delay, Deny, Depose”, that’s it. People would be in support.

    • De_Narm@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Sure, they would still celebrate and support it. But having a single news ticker item “CEO shot” simply does not make waves like non-stop coverage for multiple days does.

      There’s roughly a murder a day in NYC. How many of them have you heard about? Do you know any of their names or professions?

  Oh, waiting for the punishment to start.

  Authoritarians love to quash protest, and when they can’t they start bringing out the riot gear and batons.

  I wouldn’t be surprised at companies trolling social media and firing anyone that might suggest violence in association with their employer.

  (They absolutely check social media. My partner and I work for Fortune 500 companies and long ago scrubbed any association with our employers from our accounts. Nonetheless, my other half works for an employee group to help co-workers with job issues, and it never ceases to amaze me how many stories I hear secondhand about people posting stupid stuff online that gets them fired. The company actively looks for this stuff. Probably preaching to the choir here on lemmy, but just in case anyone needs a reminder.)

    So last I heard the lawyer of Luigi said they are not taking outside money. Have you got any links to something that says otherwise?

    source
  • capital@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Don’t take this as being accusatory but how do people know this is legit?

    source

    • EndOfLine@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Honest answer is that I don’t.

      It could be a fraud perpetrated by somebody outside the reach of US laws and I have no idea what, if any, protections GiveSendGo has to protect donors from fraud.

  Quite amazing that killing 1000s(?) a year is ok, shooting the one that allowed it isn’t.

  I kind of agree with them. Having everyone talking about murder is kind if terrifying.

    The US healthcare system is even more terrifying.

    Are you a ceo of an evil corporation that kills thousands a year? If not, your pretty safe.

      There are plenty of people who would replace him in a heart beat.

      Murdering never really accomplishes anything

    Less terrifying than normalized murder that executives commit with “just good business”.

  • samus12345@lemm.ee ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    I know it is, but it’s important that people don’t forget about the hundreds of thousands of people murdered by insurance companies denying claims every year.
