Greetings good citizen,
Stock markets finished in the red this afternoon…although not significantly. Which only means they have yet to detonate the ‘scuttling charges’ they have planted throughout what passes for our ‘economy’.
Some of you may have noticed I am posting at a different time, that is because I am trying to ‘maximize’ my post’s ‘hang time’ by shifting to when Blogger starts a new day…right around 8:00 PM locally.
I started last night and it seems to be working…so far.
That said, it’s tough to get anything meaningful out of blogger data tracking as it appears to be continuously updating, not just day to day but hour to hour!
Anyway, without setting out to do so it looks like this week’s ‘theme’ is class war and isn’t today’s top headline all about the effects class war is having upon our crumbling civilization.
Uned-ju-kated white men is dying young cuz them working stiff jobs don’t offers no in-sure-ants!
So when they turn up in the emergency room, the doctor lets ‘em die rather than busting his butt trying to keep ‘em alive…
(Although he gets paid regardless. It’s that fight with his supervisor he’s trying to avoid.)
But we can’t call THAT ‘class war’…noooo.
The >One Percent wants you dead but they don’t want you to be able to prove it’s their fault that YOU didn’t get the treatment you needed in a timely fashion.
Because guess who owns the for profit healthcare industry? It sure as shit ain’t you or me!
And guess who’s pay is tied to the profitability of the unit he works for?
Think Daktari doesn’t stick it to ya if you’re uninsured?
Next time one of those fuckers is pinned in his car under a telephone pole, waiting for a minimum wage tow truck driver to free him…maybe the driver should remember that the doctor WOULD NOT hustle to treat him if the shoes were on the other foot.
How about that? The corporate owned media even has the chutzpah to say the reason for the rising death rate is ‘unclear’.
Seriously? What do YOU think is causing it?
And isn’t it a sin that we find ourselves right back to the beginning of the circle, fighting over essentially worthless ‘money’.
You (and yours) are being allowed to DIE because of your inability to pay, with essentially worthless dollars.
The fat cats don’t need it, they’ve already got more than they can spend. So why are people being denied treatment (and left to die) because they can’t pay (the insane prices the for profit healthcare industry charges?)
Worse, we can’t even charge the healthcare industry with ‘criminal neglect’, not with the court system the way it is now.
Did I mention that the ‘cold war’ has been raging for the past twenty-five years?
Nobody remembers that you never heard the acronym HMO before the Reagan administration.
In fact, Reagan is responsible for ‘privatizing’ US Healthcare and the subsequent dismantling of a once robust public hospital network.
Just one more reason to vote for the conservo-whackos…let’s see what else they can ‘fix’ for us?
Of course, I’ve already told you that despite the political mis-steps of the past week, the Romney/Ryan ticket will be triumphant come November…because that’s what ‘the masters of the universe’ want.
And it will be ‘sold’ to us by the corporate owned media as one of history’s greatest political upsets; a phenomenon that will remain ‘unexplained’ because the resultant revolt will eclipse the entire issue.
But I digress.
Alongside the healthcare battle zone is another ‘hot spot’ that the average worker has been forced to dance around for decades now and that’s been the ‘hold on to your job’ front.
For the past THREE DECADES you have been getting ‘short-sheeted’ by the minions of the >One Percent by being told ‘Be thankful you still HAVE a damn job!’
Which has all too often been followed up with by a ‘raise’ that didn’t keep pace with the supposedly non-existent inflation rate.
If you got a two-percent raise, YOUR cost for healthcare went up five!
And the next year it was something else.
All the while you’ve been getting nickel and dimed by the town you live in as they cried to override the tax cap to fund the schools and to buy every department head in town a new vehicle.
Or upgrade the computer system or to upgrade the communications system so they could all talk to FEMA at the same time…
I say the ‘minions of the >One Percent because the >One Percent no longer have any business interests in this economy.
The only ones left are their ‘vendors’ (a.k.a. minions.)
The US is just about done being the ‘dumping ground’ for all of the shit they now make elsewhere with ‘artificially cheap’ labor.
I’m telling you good citizen, what we have seen during our lifetimes is nothing less than the ‘crime of the century’.
Never have so many been so ripped off by so few and been so powerless to put a stop to it.
The very real danger here good citizen is that the ‘backlash’ from this deception will destroy our civilization…as the criminals slink off to their luxury hideouts…
Laughing all the way…
Until the bombers show up…
Thanks for letting me inside your head,
Gegner

For generations of Americans, it was a given that children would live longer than their parents. But there is now mounting evidence that this enduring trend has reversed itself for the country’s least-educated whites, an increasingly troubled group whose life expectancy has fallen by four years since 1990.
Researchers have long documented that the most educated Americans were making the biggest gains in life expectancy, but now they say mortality data show that life spans for some of the least educated Americans are actually contracting. Four studies in recent years identified modest declines, but a new one that looks separately at Americans lacking a high school diploma found disturbingly sharp drops in life expectancy for whites in this group. Experts not involved in the new research said its findings were persuasive.
The reasons for the decline remain unclear, but researchers offered possible explanations, including a spike in prescription drug overdoses among young whites, higher rates of smoking among less educated white women, rising obesity, and a steady increase in the number of the least educated Americans who lack health insurance.
