That backtrack was bad for consumers, by the way. They were trying to get out of paying for extended anesthesia which would have only impacted anesthesiologists. They would have been paid less. Which means more savings for the consumer.
It doesn't save you jack shit. It saves the insurance company a little extra money while shafting the person responsible for monitoring your vitals and dosing you with the correct amount of very potent drugs so you don't wake up or crash on the opersting table.

Also, the anesthesiologist does not have to take your insurance plan or network. That's where most of the surprise charges on your bill come from. Specialists not in your network.

They generally don't work for the hospital, they're independant contractors or work for a group not under hospital's physician groups. Same could go for your surgeon or any other specialist that you need to see while hospitalized.
 
if it was psychological he would have gotten help for it early. he also said he didn't have any mental illnesses during the intake to the jail.
A mentally ill man doesn't think he's mentally ill? Well I'm shocked.

Oh no they're going to earn a few less thousand dollars while they earn like $500K a year. I think they can manage. If my anesthesiologist would do a worse job because he got paid less then I probably do not want him anywhere near me while I am unconscious. I don't even get your point. Surely if they're out of network then you want to pay them less, not more?
 
Everything he says is correct and true, lack of human interaction and the murder of culture is responsible for the declining birthrates.
Some of his specific anecdotes about Japan are distorted or blown out of proportion (maid cafes aren't causing low birthrates) but he clearly sees that the overall problem is a stifling, disconnected culture that offers people nothing to believe in. There's no reason for people to work to uphold a society where the only goal is to show off by buying expensive consumer goods.

Low birthrates are a consequence of secularity, that's all there is to it.
 
A mentally ill man doesn't think he's mentally ill? Well I'm shocked.
literally he's been surrounded by upper class white people his entire life, you know for a fact one of them would have mentioned if he had any schizo tendencies or was depressed or had some flavor of personality disorder. not a single person from his high school or college or working days has said anything beyond "he was a normal bright dude"

hell we even have his socials and a list of books he's read and somehow none of it leads to the conclusion he's psycho

No, you can't judge if a person is mentally ill based on how they act around other people. That is literally so unrelated. And his books and socials make him look mentally ill.
 
Dumb giga-gorillanigger Japan bootlicker cocksucker below.
As I said before, ordering machines are only at fastfood and casual restaurants. There are plenty of places that have waiters, and even places with machines, you can usually order directly from people. Talking to Shaniqua at the NYC mcdonalds isn't going to fix your birthrates. Food in japan is a third of the price of food in the US and significantly better, with no tip.
Even in restaurants with waitstaff, the eating experience in major cities is still very isolated. Most times you'll walk into an average restaurant and half the patrons are salarymen, chigyu and normal young guys glued to their phone watching shitty youtube videos, or - God forbid - Japanese television. The most socialization you'll see is at izakaya, and that doesn't count much because it's 70% men drinking themselves to early liver disease because they have no work-life balance.
The esports cafe really confuses me. I might understand why he would think that after visiting Korea, but there is almost no esports presence in Japan. Japanese gambling law prevents cash prizes for tournaments. The most they have is a couple of good fighting game players that fly out of country for tournaments overseas. US, Europe, the rest of Asia have a much better esports scene than in Japan. Furthermore, gaming cafes are really rare in Japan compared to the rest of asia. Most computer cafes just have shitty computers you can watch youtube on. Most people play these games at game centers, which are popular places to take dates.
The point he's making here doesn't just apply to esports cafes, but to all the distractions for young men. Whether it's legalized prostitution (besides vaginal penetration(lol, like they actually care)), game centers, manga cafes, etc.
Athletics are emphasized in Japanese schools. Theres a national holiday where every school holds a sports day. Highschool and college sports are competitive.
True, but when you put away the backpack and put on the wageslave suit the mandatory overtime and forced nomikais make hitting the links or batting cages a waste of the precious little free time you DO have.
Being fat is looked down upon.
True.
Japan has a much bigger emphasis on fitness than the US.
lol
Maid cafes are stupid to fixate on. Only akihabara and nipponbashi has maid cafes. There may be a few branches in second tier cities. Even if maid cafes were banned, it would affect such a small percentage of the population.
Missing the point. Maid cafes are a symptom of a sick society. Lonely sexless men pay for a teenage girl to infantilize herself, act like a mahou shoujo and pretend like she wants to talk to him? Same thing with host/hostess clubs. The gender divide, wider than the Grand fucking Canyon, has adults spend their meager disposable income to have attractive young people just talk to them and drink with them. They don't even fuck. Also, most married Japanese couples searching for a new home ask for a house with TWO master bedrooms. Again, symptom of a problem.
Shintoism is probably the religion that has been least affected by the modern world. Most japanese people still visit their local shrines. Theres nothing to revitalize
Shintou is just a routine like taking out the trash to Japanese people. They do their rounds, go to a shrine a few times a year, go on New Year's Eve etc. I have never met a Japanese person who genuinely takes their "belief" in Shintou seriously. Not saying they don't "believe," but they're about as connected to Shintou as a suburbanite family who goes to church once a year on Christmas Eve.
How are onsens culture? They still exist, only the real onsens are usually in the mountains which are hard for tourists to visit.
Onsen and sentou are culture, and they're basically dead. It's all fuckin' boomers. Japan has been thoroughly westernized and castrated. Dead country, many such cases! Unless Japan gets its shit together, it will be pumping out pedobait and shounenslop, mildly inspired automobiles and consumer electronics to the outside world while they import half of India to fill their dying workforce, and sell out their own country to make money off of affluent tourists.

back to the gooncave haggot.
This will only cause more people to side with him.
They don't care , if you ever actually read history properly you will realise the elites when they stop being legitimate ( solving problems and improving lives) they first rule by deception and propaganda and when that stops working they rule through intimidation. They will make sure it will be known to the public and lower classes that if you swipe at the ruling class you better not miss . The Chinese whos have had their kingdom for 2000 years only interrupted by bloody massacres that will make communists blush did who whole family punishment for one loose cannon in the family. It worked until it doesn't.

'Extremely ironic': Suspect in UnitedHealthcare CEO slaying played video game killer, friend recalls
NBC News (archive.ph)

Luigi Mangione, who was arrested and charged with murder in the shooting death of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, once belonged to a group of Ivy League gamers who played assassins, a member of the group told NBC News.

In the game, called "Among Us," some players are secretly assigned to be killers in space who perform other tasks while trying to avoid suspicion from other players.

Alejandro Romero, who attended the University of Pennsylvania with Mangione and was a member of the same Discord group, said he was shocked when news broke on social media that Mangione had been taken into police custody.

"I just found it extremely ironic that, you know, we were in this game and there could actually be a true killer among us," he said.

"As soon as his photo and name popped up on X, my friend texted me asking if I knew him, and then either I was calling some 10 friends or they were calling me," Romero added. "I didn't speak to anybody today who wasn't already aware of what had happened."

Mangione, 26, was arrested Monday morning in a McDonald's restaurant in Altoona, Pennsylvania, after an employee spotted him.

Police found a firearm, believed to have been 3D-printed, and a handwritten document on Mangione "that speaks to both his motivation and mindset," New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said at a news conference. He was also carrying fake identification and a passport, authorities said.

In New York, Mangione was charged with murder, possession of a loaded firearm, possession of a forged instrument and criminal possession of a weapon, according to court documents.

Authorities in Pennsylvania charged Mangione with carrying firearms without a license, forgery, tampering with records or identification, possessing instruments of crime and providing false identification to police.

In a statement on X on Monday night, a member of the Mangione family said they are "shocked and devastated by Luigi's arrest."

"We offer our prayers to the family of Brian Thompson and we ask people to pray for all involved," wrote Nino Mangione, a Republican member of the Maryland House of Delegates.

Romero, who said he has not spoken to or seen Mangione since 2020, described him as a typical college student who did not stand out to him.

"He just fit a mold," Romero said. "He just seemed like any other normal frat dude that you could see at a frat party."

His final year in college was cut short when the pandemic hit. Students were forced off campus in their last semester and did not return for commencement.

The Discord group was one way to stay connected, Romero said, but members began to go their separate ways as they got full-time jobs or embarked on long trips.

During some of those years, Mangione left behind a digital footprint that included reviewing “Industrial Society and Its Future,” also known as the “Unabomber Manifesto” by Ted Kaczynski, on Goodreads, a platform for book reviews and recommendations. It served as the ideological reasoning for Kaczynski’s yearslong mail bomb campaign that killed three people and injured 23 others.

Mangione became significantly more active on X in 2021 after five years not posting or reposting content, according to a review of his account.

Asked about the change in Mangione's online persona, Romero said that question is circulating among his friend group.

"I feel like people are unsure how to label him," he said. "I'm personally struggling to understand how this all fits."

National Reporter

I am an award-winning National reporter for NBCNews.com. I rush to wildfires, shootings, protests, high-profile court rulings and more. A native of Los Angeles, I primarily focus on the western U.S. but have also covered the wars in Ukraine and Gaza and Queen Elizabeth’s death in London.

Experience​

I helped lead coverage of the Lahaina fire in Maui and uncovered how a historic neighborhood became ground zero for the devastation. I have closely followed the challenges faced by wildland firefighters as they fight for better pay. And I was among the first reporters dispatched when gunmen opened fire in Uvalde, Texas; Monterey Park; Calif.; and Colorado Springs.

My work also includes deep dives into California’s troubled cannabis industry, income disparities associated with tourism in Wyoming, reviving the drug war in Portland and San Francisco, and a state secession movement unlike any other in Oregon.

Previously, I worked at NBC Philadelphia where I covered gun violence, the criminal justice system and the region’s fentanyl crisis. I got my start at La Opinión, a Spanish-language daily, and the Los Angeles Times. I received my graduate degree in journalism from the University of Southern California and an undergraduate degree in political science from Kenyon College.

Well that explains a lot if he admired him. Kaczynski was a violent delusional murderous AGP freak.
Fuck he is hot, too bad he is going to get absolutely destroyed and passed around in prison, hope they get lube in prison.
He's not that hot and considering public sentiment he'll probably be fine in prison?

For gays he is pretty hot and he killed a scummy CEO/investor, so the GP are praising him. I mean he will probably be fine in prison considering he comes from a rich family so I imagine he will get his own little flat in federal like the Chrisleys do. But if the elite want to make an example of him, he will be in general population and will definitely be a pass around party bottom and mobile fleshlight.

I don't know, he just looks average to me. Like I wouldn't turn my head if I saw him on the street.
