323 school shootings at K-12 this year
Remember all that critical theory stuff people were freaking out about a few years ago?
It’s basically about how society arranges itself to benefit the people who have the power in a society.
Like how crimes against business and capital are serious crimes, but crimes against workers are usually treated as paperwork errors.
Compare the number of people arrested for shoplifting as opposed to the number arrested for wage theft.Or about how the murder of one CEO gets weeks of media attention and a potential development of new systems by the police to keep it from happening again, but we’ve already moved on from the last school shooting, and our official policy is “yeah, that’ll happen from time to time”
Cyberpunk dystopia, but without the cool ass shit, just a lot of ways to die horribly.
just a cyber dystopia, missed out on the punk
Be the punk you wish to see in the world.
Yeah, this is definitely the Kenny G smooth jazz of dystopias. And I mean that in all of the worst possible ways.
The specific example of the health care guy says everything about that too. Deny someone health care and they suffer and die? Or maybe hundreds of thousands of people? No problem.
America on that any% speedrun to become Cyberpunk universe… trauma team, anyone?
I’ve said many times the only thing missing between this reality and a cyberpunk dystopia is full-dive VR.
Android XR just got announced. And given they have little to no idea how to use it, it is going to be a full on ad space.
Where’s my fuckin augs? I want to be able to go to the ripper doc to get sweet upgrades and get hired to do corporate espionage!
This is bullshit my chooms.
This is like the Trauma Team in Cyberpunk. Rich people who can afford the highest tier get a private militarized swat team to go to them any time they’re in trouble.
Except it’s not even private, it’s funded by public taxes, which is EVEN WORSE THAN CYBERPUNK
Trauma team charges 100 Eddies per minute from when you call them until they deliver you to the hospital, plus spend ammunition and medical supplies. They waive the charge if they need 7 minutes or more to get to you, though. (Not relevant in gameplay, as their response time is 1d6 minutes). And they have heavy weapons to fight their way through to you. So, their services are sort of reasonably priced for what they offer. And even if you don’t earn the big bucks, if you live in a Arasaka living facility and eat kibble, you should have enough saved up to pay for their services if you end up needing them. (Of course, living in an Arasaka living facility may lead to you needing their services)
Point being, “Cyberpunk 2020”'s healthcare system is better than America’s.
Satire is dead. Not enough CEOs have followed suit.
“Hi yes I’d like to report that a CEO is about to make a decision that could hurt themselves or millions of others. Yes i would like to have them committed and watched for the minimum amount of time. Thank you for your help.”
When a school shooting occurs the cops wait outside for the kill count to rack up.
Errr…you guys have to wait on hold on 911? This isn’t just a joke?
It’s more common in high population areas, but it does happen.
The obsession with running government services like a business results in some notions about efficiency where someone getting paid to work and not being busy all the time is worse than people regularly waiting for critical time sensitive assistance.It also has the zesty side effect of making the dispatch operators overworked and rushed. This usually just manifests as mistakes, but sometimes results in anger and critical mistakes. The famous example of the operator who yelled at a kid for calling because his mom had a seizure in the bath and she didn’t believe him comes to mind.
People’s opinion on insurance: “boy am I glad that’s there if I ever need it”
Their opinion on having extra dispatchers to pick up bursts of activity: “why the fuck are we paying them to sit around”
Both of those things are stuff you pay for but may never need, but only one of them is a human and that’s the one we get upset about.
Just wow. I mean everyone has a really shitty day and stuff can happen,we’re all just human. But dispatcher is one of those jobs that should never be understaffed nor overworked. Like docs or nurses or EMTs or… Jeez…
Legit, i thought that thing in only murders was just a bit

That’s it, I’m founding my own LLC so I can be a CEO
There are two things that the aftermath of Luigi’s action has made poignantly clear to pretty much everybody:
- That the vast majority of people no matter their party affiliation and political leanings is feeling the pain and hates the abuses that carry on being committed by a minority of people in our system with total impunity … until Luigi.
- That the Ju$tice System, the Police and most of the Press, unlike what they claim work for that minority of people, not for the rest of us.
It’s amazing just how certain parts of the system that are supposed to work for everybody (such as in this case the Police, and in other cases large parts of the Press with their “poor CEO” articles) are pretty much shouting loud and clear for all to hear that “we’re not working for you, we work for the ones that abuse you”.
Most people just discovered now with this killing of a hated CEO that what they individually felt about certain things was also felt by almost everybody, and then these bought-and-paid-for minions who for decades have been putting a lot of effort in passing themselves as “working for the community” just repeatedly and overtly signal to everybody else their true minion-of-the-rich nature.
Mind you, as a Leftie who has been skeptical of whose those elements of the current system for decades, I’m happy they’re basically outing themselves and they should keep on doing it so that everybody sees them for what they really are and who they really serve,
Well, being a CEO should be considered suicidal ideation. We already have a hotline for that.
Where’s the onion logo?
With each move, the elite prove that they think lowly of the common man.
I would be ok with this if the working class has a say in a daily wait music and elevator music for the corpo buildings.
