Late Stage Capitalism

A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.

A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.

RULES:

1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.

2 No Trolling

3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.

4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.

5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.

6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc.

Erhm, gubbermint unhealthcare has DEATH PANELS where they KILL YOU!!!!! I much prefer my profit-driven health utopia. It's much more simpler, no panels required!

flow chart of sexy profit driven health care system. Has one question with one outcome. Will it cost money? The only path, yes, leads to death.

Fuck yes, bleed my dry insurance-senpai. Take my father's heart and buy a chair for your 100th yacht. CEO shinigami-san I wuv you owo. ๐Ÿคค

Why have DEATH PANELS when the same can be done by one ~~underpaid intern~~ AI model?

That's the beauty of it! The stupid overreaching big-government law says real doctors need to review appeals and review notes and consider circumstances. But that's fuxkings stupud when a single line of code can deny claims and appeals at 1000x the speed and send EVEN MORE money to daddy's dragon den which will then trickle down directly into MY POCKETS.

I took the liberty of writing my own hyper-advance AI to handle the task. It should only need 10 racks of GPUs to run.

public static void reviewClaim(Claim wasteOfMoney) {
  if (wasteOfMoney.isNotCovered()) {
    wasteOfMoney.deny();
  } else {
    wasteOfMoney.deny();
  }
}

Profit comes from somewhere.

Yeah, but the 401Ks of those dead patients went up a by few percent, so... if you think about it, they've already been compensated for their wrongful deaths!
