Low Expectations

Today, I saw a toot wishing followers to have something go “better than expected” for them. Maybe better than expected is the best we can hope for these days in the USA:

A shopper offers nothing to the homeless person sleeping on the ground, but returns their shopping cart to the proper place.

The driver behind me shakes his fist, but doesn’t honk or pull a gun when he’s in a hurry and I did not run the red light.

A police officer treats a suspect with dignity and respect.

The president sometimes does not lie to me.

I offer you my thoughts and prayers.

This is ***such*** an easy problem to solve. They just need 12 adults who have never been fucked over by health insurance companies.

Or who have any family who have.

In the US.

Luigi Mangione Prosecutors Have a Jury Problem: 'So Much Sympathy' - Newsweek
newsweek.com/luigi-mangione-ju

Newsweek · Luigi Mangione prosecutors have a jury problem: "So much sympathy"A former prosecutor has said he has never seen so much sympathy for a person accused of murder.

Y’all, about four months ago, when I was talking about all the fraud United Healthcare got away with, and all the people that died because of UH refusing care, I said that csuite would never be punished.

Turns out, I was wrong. United healthcare CEO Brian Thompson was shot dead this morning in Manhattan in a targeted attack, as he was on his way to the investors meeting to talk about all the profit they make on killing Americans by denying them healthcare.

Thoughts and prayers, as the GOP would say.
