That is, ideally, what they want to do. However, to do it properly you would need a doctor, and doctors won’t help because of the whole “do no harm” thing. Kind of against their whole thing.

Thank you! I’ve been having to go to Reddit for the Fashion Report, which I hated to do. Hopefully Kaiyoko will hop on Lemmy at some point.

So to preface, I am absolutely and without reservation against the death penalty, so any state-sanctioned murder is unacceptable to me.

That being said, if they’re going for painless, why not just a captive bolt stunner the their brain stem? Like, having them lie back in a massage table with a container for the blood (heaven forbid the audience should experience the discomfort of gore with their death spectacle), and just pop it when it’s time. Guaranteed to shut them off, mess is handled, suitable for a casket, and no suffering. They wouldn’t even have a chance to feel it.

And if the thought of putting a human down like cattle is disturbing to you, good. It should be, just like any other way we would keep somebody locked up waiting to be killed.

Kind of limits their upward mobility, I would imagine.

And I absolutely intended the double entendre, because I can see how that could limit the ability to get into more executive positions, if the ceo or vp is required to come to the ground floor in order to talk to them, instead of two doors down the hall.

Seriously, try being the candidate talking shit about an astronaut and decorated servicemember. “I like people who stay on Earth.” Well I don’t!

So on its face, this doesn’t look like something deliberately targeting ob/gyn services, and seems more like a poorly thought out but necessary band-aid to keep open rural hospitals that would otherwise close. The lack of Medicaid funding certainly doesn’t help, but this seems to be a complicated issue that doesn’t have a single, obvious, easy-button answer.

Oh wait, yes there is, one that most other developed countries have had for a long time: Medicare For All.

My guess is the second it was established it came from one of their own they just shrugged it off as one lone crazy.

I was about to say, I had just read two Onion articles in the last ten minutes, and thought The Onion was hitting it hard today. Then I saw what community this was in and despaired.

So many of these stories are months or even years after the fact because unless the media gets on it, the incident gets buried immediately, and by the time the media gets ahold of it any investigation is challenging because it’s either so long after the fact or police “lost” evidence.

It being reported immediately starts the accountability and makes it much more likely that there will be an investigation in the first place. Either you are too young to remember or just weren’t noticing, but reports of police killing unarmed minorities was exceptionally rare a few decades ago. Cops got away with anything and everything. That’s where Black Lives Matter came from, getting the mainstream media (and the justice department) to care when a black person gets killed.
