How does any of this justify murdering a random insurance company CEO?

My stance on Luigi has always been that just because you killed a bad person doesn’t mean you’re a good person and if anything, his action pushed back any chances for insurance reform

Knowing Lindell’s luck, I see it as a possibility

Are you telling me that the real life incarnation of Cave "Moon Rock Munching" Johnson is running for office?

I don't see how he can lose. I look forward to the development of the Minnesota Mattress Matter Manipulator in a decade or so.

Reminder that Susan Crawford will win the SC vote in Wisconsin in a few hours and completely obliterate Trump's second term. We're all going straight back to the longhouse and we will not have a say in it.

My pet theory is that Fatpacks is the avatar of the God of incorrectness, who is able to manifest reality simply by speaking the exact opposite of it. I further believe that he used to be anti-Trump, then Trump got in and things were actually kinda good, and he realized his powers at around the same time, so he's now saying wildly outlandish things to give Trump more dubs in real life.

ok ok ok

I gota ask here out of sheer curiosity.

How will a change in the Wisconsin Supreme Court completely obliterate Trumps second term?

I'm honestly curious here. Please enlighten me oh wise Hamburger Man.

This whole race is getting astroturfed to oblivion because the media desperately wants a D win and this is the best chance they’ve had since election night. Even if the Democrat wins, it doesn’t change anything because the WI Supreme Court is already a liberal-leaning court, and state courts aren’t very powerful anyway.

What incentive would the feds have to offer him a deal or pursue lesser charges? Luigi is possibly the most demonstrably guilty man in history.

Not an argument on what you're saying. Doods guilty. My real question here is.. Why is this a Federal Case? And how do we use this to execute all other murderers when the states, like New York, wont?

I dunno man.

I think a vast CIA conspiracy to channel money to retards to post what they want on the internet in which the original purpose has been lost, but the checks and a copy of the last set of instructions continue to be mailed out is far more likely than your pagan heretical theory.

I first started this reply by calling you what Terry(PBUH) would call you but I realized Im not MATI Im just bummed that my fellow kiwis can miss the forest for the trees so bad. Lets forget the lugi shit for a sec and go right to the meat and potatoes.

Do you have any remote clue WHY those citys burned in 2020? Beacuse people like you failed to see what the dems failed to see in 2024, 60% of America are simple folk who dont care about politics until their cost of living goes crazy because of immigration or having to watch a man spend 10 minutes begging for his mother while he chocked to death on his own spit.

Spare me all your corrections and facts and hilariously original jokes "he was on drugs, he deserved it, it was funny" yada yada, all that reductionism misses the forest for the trees of how the average person saw something like that as deeply not ok and WHY cities burned for a whole summer, not beacuse nogs got a power up or tech boost but beacuse the average person felt genuine smypathy for the cause and was willing to turn a blind eye, the same way the average person might feel sympathy for a certian mario bros cause but who knows?

you see how when you look at things from the top down instead of through the wrong end of a telescope you can see a much bigger picture?

This is why health insurance shouldn't be used for anything short of catastrophic health events or accidents where unless you receive highly sophisticated care in a hours or even minutes you will be dead. Anything short of major surgery, needing an ambulance ride, or cutting edge life-saving procedures should be handled out of pocket.

To use a popular analogy, no one uses auto insurance to pay for an oil change or other kinds of routine maintenance. Instead you go to any number of providers who will quote you a price up front, do the work requested, and then bill you for the agreed upon amount. Imagine how much more fucked it would be if you had to go through insurance to get an oil change.

The flip side of this is that getting rid of insurance would make a large number of simple or small health care procedures far less expensive. The additional administrators and bureaucrats to oversee the insurance aren't free. Making people directly financially responsible for their own health would also incentivize them to take better care of it.
