  • Simple example from yesterday: My stupid pixel 8 phone has a green line on the screen. I look up how to get warrantee and think “wow, at least Google knowing everything about me will be helpful in this case” and after a few misdirects to garbage online user forum to try and get me to solve this problem myself I get prompted with “which device is the problem?”

    Google pixel 8

    Some camera I had but was stolen, and google knows this because they refused to replace it even though I went through the bother to report it stolen to police because they claim they will send a new one

    So I click the phone next page says “this phone?” -serial number

    Click

    That you bought on this date from us?

    Click

    Good news it’s under warranty! Would you like to start the process?

    Thought I’d already started it but… Click

    Please enter the serial number or IMwhatever code. Click here for instructions on where to find this on your phone.

    … Click back 2 pages, copy and paste the # they told me

    WRONG CODE

    take the space that was at the front for some reason

    Great! Here are the next steps…

    Me: wtf is this garbage…










    • this is the argument *

    This is exactly NOT what will happen.

    I’m assuming that was your intention OP, but just in case:

    What will happen is private sector clinics/practices/ect will be able to pay more than public, because they can charge whatever they want, so all the talented nurses/doctors ect will vacate the public sector for private, leaving public understaffed and underfunded even more than it is now. Then some shit government will point at the anemic public system they let suffer and say “it doesn’t make sense to keep this thing alive” and take it out back and shoot it. Then we turn into the states.

    The rich get better care (which they can already get with a quick plane ticket if they can’t wait) everyone else gets $300 cream.

    It’s f-ing ridiculous that anyone believes for profit healthcare would (note I believe they COULD, they just are designed not to) provide better care than a unified public service that wasn’t being slowly chipped away to make room for profiteering.


  • Answering honestly: so that shitty people can like shitty things without the consequences. They can broadcast their views without having to answer for them, and down the line it’s easier to manipulate likes so Elon can sell likes or remove likes from anything he pleases, which allows twitter to create “public opinion” that won’t be in line with actual public opinion.
