    OP edited post with letter terrible article was lacking and tonal change, but hey keep pitchforking

    Perhaps one that isnt so dismissive of the entire situation. Or at least doesn’t package it in such a way as to make it easy to sweep under the rug.

    You may not see it that way but many will, never reading this far. Be an ally, not a hindrance.

        I’m not entirely sure at this point. Maybe caught between edits?

        OP posts article lacking crucial letter FP correctly calls it out FP finds letter, adds it with contradictory/dismissive tldr FP called out but edit wording fixed ME yelling at cloud US all getting dumber having read this far

          My comment was neither contradictory nor dismissive. Her letter is an indictment of capitalism, specifically in the healthcare sector. If you can’t read a short letter and process it or keep track of what you’re actually discussing, maybe you should stop arguing with people.

            Yeesh. Speaking of yelling at clouds, you continuing to claim something doesn’t make it so. The contradiction you can’t seem to see was lamenting the lack of such a crucial part of the story (no letter) to essentially blowing it off (opinionated tldr at best) when it was finally found. Clear enough?

            I appreciate the use of a reading comprehension jab when you immediately fail it yourself. Third time’s the charm? I mean, I tried to bring levity and the mere possiibility Lemmy not updating made things worse but no, you have to be right, get the last word on each post. Well have at it, champ.

              You must have a mental issue. My comment includes the letter. And I wasn’t blowing it off. The entire point of the letter is exactly what I said.

              It’s crazy to me that you have this level of dumb confidence despite the fact that every response you write is clearly downvoted. You have an issue. You should look into it.

      I didn’t edit my post. I put the letter in my original comment 5 minutes after posting so what OP did is irrelevant. The letter has been there for anyone to read since I posted my original comment.

      No one is making anything easy to sweep under the rug. The root cause of her complaint, in her own words, is that the system that takes advantage for her for a profit is the one that led to her death.

      You don’t have to be dishonest. Read what she said in her own words.
