       @wordshaper Insurance has become akin to a criminal enterprise, co-opting politicians to keep it in place much like drug cartels co-opt them to keep drugs illegal. My last dental bill was covered by insurance, had I paid cash the dentist would have knocked off $200 for a cash & senior discount but the insurance company would not have paid their share. So I saved less than two months premium on the bill even though insurance covered a portion of the total. Had to pay my part up front, and then wait while insurance company paid a THIRD PARTY that sends the money out to the dentist. He gets paid in a credit voucher he can’t cash, so it takes an extra month for a paper check to be issued. It’s three months now and the dentist is paid and I’m still waiting on the accountant to send me the amount that I had to pay upfront to get the care in the first place. @JessTheUnstill

       @janneke Despite this thread focusing on the plight of animals, wherein the debate centers over whether they are respected as life forms in their own way, the question for me remains whether or not we humans can be afforded the respect we deserve and not be treated like a corporation’s chattel in the quest to use AI. @tjbutt58 @minego
