    The trick is that so much is tied to our employment, including health care. Wanna start a ruckus and get fired? Cool, you’ll lose your health insurance and the cancer will kill you. It’s not like the company down the street is any better.

      It’s so horrendous.

      I mean most people don’t die of cancer, and usanians (why are we supposed to say americans?) seem to die of stress before they get it (cancer is an “age” disease, the older you get, the higher the probability because it’s cumulated damage).

      I understand the idea of just fucking off into the countryside, or even all those frothing at the mouth communists etc, you gotta change your system somehow.

      And sometimes the company you work for, or the company down the street, is causing the cancer.

      Or your out trying to protect your neighbors, and ICE or DHS shoots cancerous chemicals into the streets.

      This is America.
