I’ve known this was coming for a few years after the CEO of my previous mental health employer told us he wanted to grow the company large enough to compete with Amazon who were going to be entering the primary care and mental healthcare field. He also warned of Walmart following suit.
It was a hard pill to swallow and I hoped he was wrong, but here we are… It’s going to be a scary time if monopolies like Amazon and Walmart strangle out real providers and fuck up our healthcare industry even worse. We need these fuckers to have this fail spectacularly to preserve the industry.
I have joked for years that we are living in a simulation and in 2016, they cranked up the satire and absurdity levels. Then in 2020, they cranked up the suffering factor, but left satire and absurdity turned up.
It has seriously felt like living in The Onion universe these last few years.
Okay yeah, you make a scary valid point then. I can see it happening in Canada and a few European nations for sure.
Hell, all I have been seeing for the last 40+ years is a slow erosion of rights. The amount of laws and regulations alone has drastically increased since I was a kid.
oh they did actually. its called citizens united and ruled that corporations are super citizens with all the benefits of a person but none of the disadvantages.

America is falling apart, I don’t think our countries consider them a “vision of the future”.
Maybe 15-20 years ago, now we are just wondering when the collapse will happen
