    Aside from anything else, why is the argument always “it’s a scarce resource, so let’s embrace a soulless parasite rationing it in the name of austerity” rather than “how do we conquer the underlying scarcity?”

      This time they sprinkled some fraud flakes on it right out of the oven but it’s the same dish. There’s no copy of Health Communism next to the cookbooks in this kitchen, all the chefs are bankers and MBAs and they don’t give a fuck as long as the tab is paid

      A soulless parasite rationing of it whose motives are directly adversarial to us on top of that! They say “Oh, it’s more efficient this way” efficient for who? At what? Efficient for them at making money, not efficient for us to stay alive. Dead people, ruined lives, broken families: all hallmarks of great efficiency from the perspective of the parasite.
