Countering Musk's DOGE Theft:
The importance of repetition

"framing Musk's actions as "stealing from you"...

...unite us as a country against intruders who unjustly take our shared treasure and threaten our prosperity...

the wealthiest man in the country is trying to #steal what belongs to every #American. He doesn't need anything, yet he's still pilfering from those who need it most."

The old wizard was grumpy and in poor health. But the water had to be given, not taken. So he called out to the villagers.

“Give me water from the fountain of youth. If you don’t, I will #steal the smiles from your children’s faces, the patience from their parents, the wisdom from your elders, and the courage from your warriors.”

Horrified looks surrounded him. A young man filled a water skin from the fountain and gave it to the wizard.

“Drink and wait until morning.”

The wizard nodded curtly and drank deeply. In the morning he woke up, still old and ill. He stepped out to the village square, and was greeted by the same man.

“The water has to be given freely, not coerced. Try again next year.”

I wrote this several years ago... [Long Post]

#Insurance is about pooling resources and sharing risk. A simple thought experiment will help illustrate why “health insurance” is a misnomer.

Consider a group of one thousand homeowners who are worried about house fires. They band together and create an insurance pool for protection against such losses. If homes are worth $100,000 and there is one fire per year, annually they would have to chip in $100 each. Fortunately the risky event is rare, so the cost of insurance is low.

Compare this with #HealthInsurance (which is actually insurance against illness). We have the same thousand people, of which half (500) consume an average of $10,000 of healthcare services each year ($5M).

#Illness is NOT a rare event and the annual premium jumps to $5,000 per person! Many of the younger, healthier people ask why they should be paying for somebody else’s infirmity? They withdraw from the pool and premiums skyrocket. Eventually the pool collapses and those who actually need care loose their coverage. In some cases financial ruin ensues. The U.S. is the only major society in the world where Medical Bankruptcy is not only possible, but common!

👉 The key difference is that almost everyone will utilize healthcare services at some point in their lives. The insurance model breaks down under these circumstances. We are no longer sharing #risk but rather #sharing #cost.👈

This is expected—a feature, not a bug. It stems from the #industrialization of #medicine in a #capitalist environment. #Capitalism seeks profit as its major goal, regardless of other outcomes. "Outcomes" that include life, death, and disability! Once the practice of medicine becomes a business, my Father [a radiologist] once opined, "We can #lie, #cheat, and #steal with the rest of them."

Rep #PatRyan of #NewYork is continuing the #NationalSecurity theme. He is a #combat #veteran & notes that his district includes #WestPoint, which he attended. He notes that cadets are forbidden to #lie, #steal, #cheat “or tolerate those who do,” & says #Trump “has violated every word in that code — a serial liar, cheater, thief who looked soldiers in the eye, then turned around & called fallen heroes ‘suckers’ & ‘losers.’”

"I was not arguing that you should illegally #steal everybody’s music — what you would do if you’re a Silicon Valley entrepreneur, which hopefully all of you will be, is if it took off, then you’d hire a whole bunch of #lawyers to go clean the mess up, right? But if nobody uses your product, it doesn’t matter that you stole all the content.

And do not quote me."

@Elucidating case in point: #Redis got #greedy because some #VC assholes want to #milk the company and after #hedging it into insolvency slaughter the cow that is about to collapse from malnutrition...

Be angry at those people, not at people like me cuz that's just * #ShootingTheMessenger * ...

My final word is that this MUST HAVE "#ForeseeableConsequences" in that #WhatYouAllowIsWhatWillContinue applies to #Grifters that literally #steal #FLOSS and then #tivolize it so hard, that it's not #OpenSource anymore...

🇺🇸 🌊 THE #UNITED_STATES OF #AMERICA IS #SUNK. #SUNK #SUNK. 🚢 🛳️ ⚓

🚔 HERE IS #WHY. #EMINENT_DOMAIN!

🏢 All governments across the world MUST HAVE #CONTROL OVER ITS PEOPLE (aka whip master addictions). In case you did not know it. Less than 1 % of the population will #MURDER YOU if that is what it takes to BE #1. Based on our Research of American History since 2015.

👹 AND #TRUTH AND A #SHAME. But it doesn't need to be this way. OH NO there are WAY BETTER STRATEGIES THAN THESE #FAILURES CAN’T MUSTER.. aka #BLINDED BY #GREED!

👹 #POMPOUS #HARDHEADED #STUBBORN #BABOONS.. (Sound Familiar?) who think they are winners (DELUSIONAL) when they are #BLATANT_LOSERS.. #ADDICTED TO #CONTROL—WHO CANNOT MANAGE their own families or themselves >> AS President of the United States of America ??? ..but THEY expect to lead a NATION??

🚢 Yep #SUNK #SUNK!

Throughout the centuries these #CONTROLLING_TYRANTS (AKA #USA, #BRITAIN, #ENGLAND) could retain CONTROL bc THEY #OWNED THE #LAND. And have #Eminent_Domain Authority over it.

WHICH DOES #NOT_APPLY TO THE #INTERNET. We own #zero land and pay our #bills on #time;)

YOU HAVE BEEN #WARNED! We will #BOYCOTT #BAN the #USA WORLDWIDE! if they continue with their #DANGEROUS #MISINFORMATION.

#EMINENT_DOMAIN MEANS THEY CAN TAKE YOUR LAND WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT. SAME AS THEY ARE TRYING TO DO CURRENTLY WITH YOUR #ONLINE_SECURITY AND #GOD_GIVEN_RIGHTS_TO_PRIVACY_AND_SECURITY BY USING THEIR OWN SATELLITE NETWORK and why all the DESPERATE ROCKET LAUNCHES WORLDWIDE.

Which has become ...A 100% #Failure! (aka Private Company #Child_Abductions run rampant)

Donald Trump and His Personal Attorney Rudy Giuliani Worked With #Russian Intelligence Agents to Try to #Steal the 2020 U.S. #Presidential #Election.

Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) charged parliament member Oleksandr Dubinsky with treason, working with Russian FSB/KGB agents of russia, indicting him alongside Andriy Derkach and former prosecutor Kostyantyn Kulyk, who have both fled the country. The three were part of a Kremlin-backed effort to feed Giuliani russian disinformation in an attempt to harm President Joe Biden.
