Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

How is it that these United States, which kills loads of people through military, police, and imperialism, and for profit healcare, but mess up killing one woman who doesn’t have the ability to resist her own death?
Because - and I can't stress this enough - there is a severe case of "I really don't give a shit" that permeates literally every professional role in the US. From fast food to federal government, there are way way too many people who just literally do not give a shit.
It's compounded in the bureaucratic jobs because those are the people the rest of us rely on to get the proper information to the people who need it (i.e. medical records to a doctor, passing info from one party to another), and entirely too often is there literally always something missing that would have taken all of 5 seconds worth of extremely little effort to make sure everything was correct.
It's honestly astounding just how little everyone seems to care bout anything that isn't directly involving themselves or someone they know personally.
I think it's because we're all beaten down into not caring. In the US, every job is designed to extract as much labor for as little compensation as possible. Therefore, the more you go above and beyond in your job, effectively the less you get out of it. If you refuse to stop caring, you just get burnt out and replaced like a piece of broken equipment.
More like "the people with the specialized medical training to kill people also take oaths of non-harm that prevents them from killing people on the state's command so the people who end up in the roles of killing people are necessarily not the people with the expert training on how to medically kill people and not mess it up."
I think you replied to the wrong comment
No, I replied to the correct one.
They asked why it got messed up, your answer was general incompetence, but that's not really the case here as it's a specific niche with a competence paradox in that the competent people are necessarily prohibited from partaking in the process.
US has a long history of losing wars too so not that surprising.
