  • So Nike sells limited edition sneakers that sell for far above retail in after market sales. That’s where medical device imaging is coming in. It’s weird but no weirder than like, beanie babies were. If you didn’t know that now you do.

    You also catastrophically missed the point. Getting pissy because you see somebody wearing any particular brand is pretty ridiculous. All of them are supporting the regime in one way or another, you are, simply by existing and contributing labor to society. You can’t pinpoint a fascist by their Nike’s anymore than you could pinpoint one by literally any other shoe. Unless they happen to be police tactical boots (which are often made by Under Armor).








  • If it’s a publicly traded company, then they are obligated to pursue shareholder value above all else. If total revenue go down, shareholder value go down. They would see some pretty marginal gains because they’d still be able to lay off most employees, but they’d practically be cutting off both of their arms.

    They make their money by absolutely draining every working class American for every dollar they can afford. Most claims are handled automatically by computer, we do not need them to do that for us. The 5% of claims or so that are not automatically handled are given over to review by a pretty small group of people, we would not need 3 insurance companies to do that work nationwide.

    What you’re proposing is a form of universal healthcare where Americans continue to spend more than every other developed nation for similar outcomes as to what we already have.
