QuasitHealth insurance companies in America have mostly stopped covering GLP1 drugs such as Wegovy and Ozempic •except• for people who are actually diabetic. This is due to the extremely high cost of such drugs.
This is bad for public health, since GLP1s are effective for the millions of pre-diabetic Americans with metabolic syndrome; they reduce the chance of developing Type 2 diabetes and heart disease. They are also effective weight loss drugs, which has other health benefits as well.
So once again working class Americans will pay with their lives for the greed of Big Pharma, health insurance companies, and the oligarchs.

The video filmed by Kimberly Clark warehouse employee Chamel Abdulkarim I think carries a pretty simple message.

AJ Sadauskas@kali @mf_analysis It's more than that.
Palantir is basically an enabling tool for the authoritarian right's agenda.
It takes the mountains of data generated through surveillance capitalism, and sells it as a product for intelligence, law enforcement, and defence agencies.
If weaponises creepy tracking codes and location tracking apps, making it part of the government surveillance apparatus.
So all the ways enshittified tech companies track you become all the ways the government tracks you.
It says to authoritarian governments: We'll sell you a mass surveillance apparatus for a fee that makes the Stasi and KGB look like the EFF by comparison.
That data is being used right now to identify the people that ICE will snatch off the street.
These European bankers know all of this.
And they're saying: 'Yes, we will put our capital into this scheme as long as it makes us a profit.'
