I think it’s kind of like saying “check yourself”

To be fair, I’m sure most of us have done way more plumbing than chemistry…

In other words, they (the US government) can’t influence who does or doesn’t see certain content, so they need it to sell to an “american” owner so that they can make sure they only see pro us propaganda.

Literally never seen any of that on TikTok. Just Americans doing their thing. In fact, you can actually look up content on TikTok that shows, describes and condemns the atrocities at tiananmen square, and their awful behavior towards Taiwan. And any number of things that shows the chinese government as a bad player. If they were in control, you’d think that sort of thing wouldn’t even be available.

What pro Chinese stances?

Xitter* (x pronounced sh style)

They didn’t need subpoena, or any other “legal” means if the ones in control are complicit.

Why is it a bad thing that the company I’m supposed to trust to keep my information and communication safe and secure is a boot licker for the incoming fascist asshole and his possy?

Been using their paid service for months. I have so many aliases. I’m just surprised. Surely this company knows its biggest user base has to be too educated to let this slide.

He’s a board member, and original CEO. The official proton account doubled down on the same trash

Worth noting the company’s official account doubled down on the same, further up in this thread.

I use password store for my management. There’s a client for all the major UIs. But I have SO MANY aliases in proton pass.

Considering insurance, and medical facilities negotiate to set their costs every year, I don’t trust that their profit is so low.

I don’t disagree with you. We can’t simply replace insurance companies with a public version and expect everything to be okay. But Medicare and Medicaid seem to work really well for a lot of people. They can simply expand it, and then private insurance can still exist as a supplement if someone wants.

But what we really need is more regulation, everywhere, on almost all industries.

Gotta kill citizens United, and make superpacs illegal. When money gets out of politics, is when we’ll finally see some change.

It’s self fulfilling though. Doctors offices are at the whims of their agreements with the insurance companies to stay afloat. They pad the bill (charging maximum for everything) because the insurance company will only pay percentages on most procedures. Then they usually write off the rest (or close to it). Doctors are incentivized to prescribe certain drugs over others, and other such meddling.

Healthcare costs are as high as they are specifically because of private insurance. The evidence is in every single other developed country that has state-provided healthcare. It’s overall cheaper, and often better.

Insurance companies default to denying claims because they know, if the barrier is high enough (denial after denial), people will simply stop asking for the procedure (or whatever), so they don’t have to pay anything. Then their earnings go up, and they pad their pockets.

Perhaps, wishful thinking I know… But perhaps, this will give the next CEO some slight pause when considering screwing over millions of people for the financial gain of already rich people. PERHAPS, now that there’s a tangible consequence for being a greedy murderous asshat, they’ll think twice… Probably not, but I can hope.

I don’t think they’re angry at you. I imagine they couldn’t care less if they tried, but I’m sure they’re confused how you seem to think that the target of an infatuation is somehow responsible for the actions of the infatuated person. This strikes me as a very small step away from “It’s her fault she got r***ed, look how she’s dressed”.
