I seized Monday again. I was on the median about to hit a tree driving.

It is not safe for you to be driving. Any responsible health care professional will tell you it is not worth the risk. You don’t want someone else’s injury or death on your conscience.
I'm probably the angriest driver you'd meet
Unfortunately, you're wrong.
If it's not in a contract you don't have to do it. It's not glib, it's law.

This is NYC, where legal gun ownership (let alone with a foot long silencer) is practically a capital offense for non-criminals. No way this wasn't supported by oligarchs or 3-letter agencies.

Seriously? As if there was a strict border around NYC and illegal gun trade was not a thing. LOL.
Hell, even if you reload, powder is $55 PER POUND now. Even if you have the licenses, you can't afford the ammunition.
For decades, I have used the soap box and ballot box to attempt redress of my grievances. Because of the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act I cannot access the jury box to appeal for the my son’s vaccine injury. Our story is a very common one, but it has never occurred to us to use the ammo box as an option. It honestly breaks my heart that someone finally may have. Because, if the murder of Brian Thompson is the violent result of just another heartbreaking medical injustice, then someone in the public has given up on the first three boxes ever working. ...
It is also difficult for me to see the rising folk hero status of this shooter, whom X is now tagging with the moniker “The Claims Adjuster.” Once this person becomes praised for what they have done, the risk of more impatient and angry individuals, many with justifiable rage, taking up arms against corporate criminals increases. Americans have been nursed on such stories in their network crime drama entertainment for decades, So taking violent action it is not a far stretch for some who have come to the end of their rope. No sane person working in good faith within a healthy system should come to the end of their rope. But ours is not a healthy system.
This is not the America we want. What we want is for the soap box, the ballot box, and the jury box to work. America is based on the ideas that wrongs are not to be settled with violence and street justice. But the fact that all three branches of government have failed in their duties to hold corporations and individuals accountable for their crimes and failures may now have broken that trust in of the rule of law that makes our civil society civil.
Americans aren't angry at the shooter. The longer he goes without being caught the greater his status becomes as a folk hero. It is easy to predict that if he is not caught this year, that he is well on his way to becoming the D.B. Cooper of the 21st century.
The tragedy of that is that what this man did was not just murder, and it was not just an assassination, it was an act of terrorism against the insurance industry. The day the story went public, Blue Cross Blue Shield was forced to retract its policy of limiting the amount of time that they would pay for anesthesia for a patient going through surgery. The terror attack immediately hit an intended target. And we have learned over the last 30 years that terrorism does work. Many respond to the induced fear by capitulating to the terrorist, both foreign and domestic.
This past several years saw our own government turn terrorist against its own citizens during the “pandemic” by inducing fear of death into a population gaslighted into acting against its own interests: locking down, closing their children's schools, walking away from the support of their own churches, restricting their own breathing, and injecting themselves with a poorly understood and largely untested cocktail of ingredients not proven to even prevent infection or transmission by a death virus, as the government characterized it. Fear works.
If the shooting of Brian Thompson is retribution for a legitimate complaint that was never made right by this company, then this act of pulling the trigger in retribution will get its intended effect by making corporate abusers take stock in their choices. ...
In this present moment we are close to resetting our government. I have been decrying for many years the fact that my Seventh Amendment right to a jury trial “[i]n suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars,” has not been “preserved” but rather has been obliterated. Because of the unconstituional 1986 Act, I cannot sue the pharmaceutical company that made the vaccine that gave my son lifelong brain damage. I have pointed out repeatedly that the entity that I and all parents have to appeal to for compensation is the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and that the the U.S. Department of Justice, in representing HHS and opposing families, ultimately protects the interests of the criminal and negligent pharmaceutical companies. The purpose of the DOJ is to protect victims from criminals, but it has been inverted to advance the criminals rather than the interests of their victims.
Medicare and Medicaid fraud assumed monstrous proportions with the passage of the CARES Act of March 25, 2020. ...
Uncle Sam paid hospitals a fee for performing a Covid test, then another fee for admitting a Covid positive patient, and then the full daily Medicare (with a 20% add-on) hospitalization rate, regardless of the patient’s insurance status.
The MD and Minnesota State Senator, Dr. Scott Jensen, drew attention to this in an April 8 interview with Fox News’s Laura Ingraham:
Right now, Medicare has determined that if you have a COVID-19 admission in hospital, you’ll get paid $13,000 dollars. If that COVID-19 patient goes on a ventilator, you get $39,000 dollars, three times as much.
Dr. Jensen was addressing the concern that hospitals were thereby incentivized to code patients as COVID-19 admissions even if they were suffering from other illnesses or injuries. Of additional concern was the CDC’s guidance:
In cases where a definite diagnosis of COVID-19 cannot be made, but it is suspected or likely (e.g., the circumstances are compelling within a reasonable degree of certainty) it is acceptable to report COVID-19 on a death certificate as “probable” or “presumed.”
This created the possibility that the death of any patient—including extremely frail people with multiple co-morbidities—who also happened to present flu-like or pneumonia symptoms, could be attributed to COVID-19, even without a positive test. ...
On November 2, 2020, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced it would pay an additional 20% add-on payment to hospitals that used new FDA-approved drugs for treating COVID-19. The first therapies that were eligible for this bonus were remdesivir and convalescent plasma (extracted from donated blood). The cost of these drugs was covered by the Medicare add-on payment. In other words, Medicare (a U.S. government funded institution) paid hospitals a 20% gratuity on the patient’s entire hospital bill (already “enhanced” 20%) for using these new drugs. ...
