It’s easy not to trust a system associated with charging you $500 for Tylenol. Much easier (and occasionally even safer) to just smell some lavender and hope that helps. Go to an ED and you could just die of a stroke or heart attack in the waiting room or even get run over by somebody who died of a heart attack while driving and just plowed through the waiting room because they couldn’t afford an ambulance. And the Healthcare system is largely failing because of insurance companies. Burn inhumana and united quacks to the ground 2k24.

Edit: also housing. Fix the housing crisis and the Healthcare system could probably pull through despite the odds. There’s a huge number of homeless people that just live in hospitals, especially psych wards and I’m not even kidding.

      You absolutely can, and should, hold liars accountable. The “don’t hate the player, hate the game” excuse simply doesn’t fly for everything.

      Any system capable of countering a determined attempt to spread misinformation would by design attach penalties to such lies, and those penalties would be enforced on the liars. What successful fix could even be proposed that withholds blame?

        Penalising liars seems a lot like suppression of opinions that’s a very dangerous route to take. An most educated independent thinkers dont fall for most lies. So maybe fix the american education system and that should solve this problem pretty well. Blame them for being cunts sure but punishing makes unfiltered speech dangerous.
