r/tuesday This lady's not for turning Dec 02 '24

Semi-Weekly Discussion Thread - December 2, 2024

INTRODUCTION

/r/tuesday is a political discussion sub for the right side of the political spectrum - from the center to the traditional/standard right (but not alt-right!) However, we're going for a big tent approach and welcome anyone with nuanced and non-standard views. We encourage dissents and discourse as long as it is accompanied with facts and evidence and is done in good faith and in a polite and respectful manner.

PURPOSE OF THE DISCUSSION THREAD

Like in r/neoliberal and r/neoconnwo, you can talk about anything you want in the Discussion Thread. So, socialize with other people, talk about politics and conservatism, tell us about your day, shitpost or literally anything under the sun. In the DT, rules such as "stay on topic" and "no Shitposting/Memes/Politician-focused comments" don't apply.

It is my hope that we can foster a sense of community through the Discussion Thread.

IMAGE FLAIRS

r/Tuesday will reward image flairs to people who write an effort post or an OC text post on certain subjects. It could be about philosophy, politics, economics, etc... Available image flairs can be seen here. If you have any special requests for specific flairs, please message the mods!

The list of previous effort posts can be found here

UHC CEO shot in broad daylight and people are happy. Even on the medical subreddits. As if all of the issues with American healthcare can be isolated to executives. People are insane.

Even on the medical subreddits.

You say "even" on medical subreddits as if they wouldn't/shouldn't be some of the first people throwing a party about this. Now I'm not saying this about every medical professional, but a LOT of them absolutely hate insurance companies and have seen patients die or live with a poorer quality of life as a result of their practices. Not to mention the amount of time they spend dealing with them, fighting for their patients.

FWIW I'd rather not see this happen at all, but I also fall on the side of "I'm surprised this hasn't been happening with more frequency already."

As a medical professional, I can’t justify celebrating someone being murdered.
