https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/22/tech/ftc-amazon-one-medical-deal/index.html It looks like things may head that way. I like the idea of avoiding sick people, lines, and stuff, but mostly I would like for Amazon to challenge the status quo. --- "Oh, you think lag is your ally. You merely adopted lag.

Yeah it's kind of sad but they can't possibly make it any worse. I was so depressed these last couple months I would have hospitalized myself if it didn't cost $100k+. So I looked into getting antidepressants and I couldn't get an appointment sooner than 3 months (and then cancelled). I would literally buy them off the dark web at this point, I'm just laying in bed feeling sick to my stomach. The US really doesn't care if you live or die. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I mean at this point do we just wait for some kind of collapse? Healthcare in the US is just monstrous and we're moving towards literally everything becoming Amazon faster than we are to updating it to a single payer model. Prices are rising, cost of living is rising, corporate profits are skyrocketing and politicians are getting worse. I mean eventually something's gotta give. ... Copied to Clipboard!
