There really aren't that many mass shootings in the US. I'd rather go by assisted suicide than slow decline and hospice.

Don't tell that to CNN whenever a straight white man does one.

Me too. However, go get on Canadian X and you'll find many talking about how people are getting told to kill themselves when they're not terminal.

There are lots of ways to solve the housing crisis.

Per Capita GDP isn't wealth. "Mert"

But still better to be ahead of Bama than behind it.

I don't know who Mert is, that's just a screenshot. However, I had the same thought about being ahead of Bama. If you're behind them in anything, shit ain't going well.

Here's a guy who compiled a bunch of examples:
Also, it's apparently not uncommon for Canadians and Americans living up there to come to the U.S. seeking medical help instead of waiting months in Canada.

He's been in that hospital NINE YEARS fighting for basic care while they keep asking if he'd rather just die.
That's expensive as fuck.

Truth. It's why they wanted to kill him. In the U.S., they'd fight to keep him alive. 1 point to Capitalism.

Yeah, that's why I said they'd fight to keep him alive. Again, capitalism.

Also, I don't think he'd be there 9 years in an American hospital. Better doctors (all of Canada's best are here), better care, and they treat beds a lot like tables in a restaurant. Turn and burn!

Get a job so you have better insurance or move to Canada and get murdered. Your choice.

That was his workplace insurance. Actually, he ended up getting fired due to his neurological disorder first.

He should have moved to the U.S.

I was extending the US story. So that was the American version of him.

This is fair. Corporations are absolutely allowed to do whatever the fuck they want here.

There's something written down that prevents that. It's called a "law". I know. Sounds made up.

However, we should try enforcing them someday. Who knows, it might make things better. In the meantime, sit down, shut your mouth, eat your overpriced poison, and enjoy watching us take everything from you.

There's no law preventing this. There are some laws around disabilities and accommodations, but if he can't do the job, he's fired. He could do an unpaid FMLA for a while, perhaps, I don't know those details. But that just delays the inevitable.

I think it depends on your state. Also, who said he couldn't work remotely? You're jumping to really big conclusions.

Also just because it's in the same wheelhouse, there are laws protecting service members' jobs, but corporations break that law all the time. Not to mention basically every other law in the book. Point being, fuck corporations.

Anyway, what's your point of condemning this poor person?
