    Your hypothetical makes no sense because murder is not ordinary or basic. But even if it were… “Couldn’t have happened to a worse person.” Right? “Karma’s a motherfucker.” Right?

    Many Americans are so blindly patriotic that they don’t realize their health insurance system is much worse than dozens of other countries. At the same time, many of these Americans also know that they’re being scammed. It is interesting to look at that cognitive dissonance. And it is interesting to look at mainstream media, so afraid to point out how screwed everyone in the country is, because of some evil rich assholes.
