Man, insurance these days'll cost you an arm and a leg!
Should remove their limbs so they can see for themselves how necessary they are.
"After this, we investigate why there is a cult of personality surrounding accused murderer Luigi Mangione"
cult of personality
Washington was called by some of the indigenous "Town Destroyer"
cult of personality
western framing whenever someone is extremely popular among the working class. Stalin, Mao, etc. but you will almost never hear bourgeois media talk about adulation around a western liberal democratic politician as a "cult of personality". that's for the thick-browed mud peoples
Talks about "cults of personality" among the scary unscrutable non-westerners becomes extra absurd when you live in a monarchy. You have this one family that everybody is expected to form a parasocial relationship with, they're always presented in a positive framing, their faces are on the money, stuff is named after them, TV shows are being made about how good they are, children put up plays about them being amazing in school. When they show up somewhere crowds gather to cheer them. If one of them were to fart in public, people would talk about what a brave fart it was and how it demonstrated their deep and real connection to the common folk.
But if you tell people that they're doing the exact same thing they're accusing Koreans of doing they look at you as if it is the most absurd thing they've ever heard.

was trying to think about this more. I'm not sure but maybe "cult of personality" describes the cultural hegemony from 2020 to 2024 when the liberals pretended Biden didn't have dementia
Cult of zero personality

A Nevada prison policy of “one eye is good enough” amounts to deliberate indifference to an inmate’s medical need for cataract surgery in violation of the Constitution, a federal appeals court held Thursday.

They want to treat everyone, except their friends and families, like they are living in an unconstitutional prison.
Perhaps these "providers" could "provide" their own limbs, if they're too cheap to construct a prosthetic. What about their legs? They don't need those...
Alternate title: health insurers can eat my shit and hair
"Health Insurers Weigh Options, Choose Cowabunga"
Pray to Saint Luigi for guidance
Not scared enough, apparently
D.D.D
Certainly not in a court of an archaic and for-profit justice system, but Luigi will be vindicated
