So did they just download the US Census and start from there?
When pretty much everybody is on the list, it's more conspicuous to not be on it.
You can't put us all on the little list
big data disagrees
You can't put us all on the little list by definition, because then it would be the big list.
Human person #6382808222 has been identified. Added note: Dislikes being exploited.
A list that includes everyone is useless from a data analysis point of view.
This is not about data analysis. This is about justifying oppression. And if it comes to "we have found you all to be dangerous" the conclusion is "we need to oppress you all"
fuck insurance companies. i hope more CEOs get gunned down in the streets.
Inshallah
Health Insurance companies are parasites who only exist to cause people misery in exchange for profit so... everyone?
So, they're finally admitting that they're monitoring all of us.
What the fuck... Really? Holy shit and what the actual fuck. As example ever heard about Snowden? Chelsea Manning? Assange? Unbelievable wtf
Imagine if government resources were spent on applying antitrust laws to stop this abusive situation that literally kills people and ruins lives instead.
so, like most people who have ever had to attempt to use it combined with those who could only hope to afford it? thats prolly a long list.
Nah, only those who dare to speak out.
Hi, FBI agent! How are you doing today?
So, like 85% of the adult population?
I think it's probably closer to 99%. Basically, anyone who isn't a high-level executive in the health insurance industry.
The more people that express negative sentiment the harder it will be for them to go after people. It's your first amendment right, use it. Don't comply in advance.
"Do you have the faintest idea of how little that narrows this down?"
I hope more die.
Government is monitoring everyone? Color me shocked
But anyway don't download RedNote the Chinese censorship is just so terrible...
(Oh he's super popular on that app btw lmao)
In his manifesto, Mangione suggested the health insurance industry had “gotten too powerful, and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allowed them to get away with it.” He could just as easily have been describing the national security state.
You can monitor this dick.
"We already have. And there is literally 'Nothing to see here.' "
Ouch
Monitoring all nurses, got it.
We already know they’re spying on everyone in the country
21 minutes too late 
Monitor me all you want. Monitor me while you suck my balls.
What are you going to do about it? Nothing.
You think the trump regime is going to do nothing with a list of people who are opposed to the crimes of the rich?
Violent autocrats love lists of people to persecute and kill. That's been a hallmark of trump style regimes since at least sulla in the roman republic.
Hi, I guess?
Add me to the list plz. Thx.
The health insurance industry needs to be changed significantly as it neither makes care cheaper, more accessible or more available.
That's fun. It does nothing to stop the near-daily in-person conversations with coworkers, friends, and family about this one topic that unites us all. So long as we're beholden to this health insurance system that screws us over at our most vulnerable of times, those conversations aren't going to stop.
I don't know if it says anything that the caption says "social media posts" but 3 of them are photos of IRL signs/banners, and the other one is an illustration of a sign. And there is no surrounding context, like 9 trillion likes or anything included. If I was writing this report I would have chosen different images to make my point.
But 2 things from that same document, are they accurate?
During his arrest, authorities discovered Mangione was in possession of a three-page handwritten claim of responsibility. In the writings, he made several references to a "parasitic" healthcare system filled with "corruption and greed".
It was three pages?? Were they very small pages or is there more? The "manifesto" that was posted all over the place is very short, not 3 pages.
During the course of the investigation, law enforcement discovered "delay", "deny", and "depose" written in permanent marker on the bullet casings used in the shooting.
It was written in marker? I assumed you'd have to paint it or something. How big are bullets? I just used a fine point Sharpie to write "depose" as small as I can and it isn't legible below about 1 1/8" x 3/8" on a flat piece of paper. Wouldn't is rub off while being shot out of the gun?
That's not news, we knew the NSA was spying on every American a decade ago.
An evil company was evil. A very understandable thing happened when evil people are killing Americans. Now I'm going to get put on a list for liking a post.
It's like you don't have to do anything besides exist and you get put on a list. I'm sure this won't be used by the new administration to silence dissent.
The US healthcare system is a massive fucking dumpster fire. There, I typed it.
