Finally getting a chance to watch @adamconover@mastodon.social's Factually! episode "Homeless and Employed in America with Brian Goldstone":

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uh379n3ravk

I've been part of the so-called "working homeless" off and on since 2007?

The last time I had a legal rental agreement was 2014 (that only lasted a few months before I was terminated by my employer and thus left because I could no longer afford to pay rent).

The last time I was evicted from an illegal sublet (I was renting a room in a 55+ trailer park community, and I was not 55+. I'm still not 55+) was 2019.

Admittedly, my dad was a real estate developer who was very abusive into the whole "my roof, my rules" when I was a kid and I was forced to work (often unpaid, some things never seem to change) as a minor just in hopes that I would have a roof over my head.

But y'know, having slept in tents for years? A roof is overrated!

Kowtowing to abusive pieces of shit, may be the way of human existence, but it's not a life worth living.

Admittedly, I'm not sure what human life is worth living, but I am still alive so I am doing my best to make it less insufferable for myself and others with every fiber of my being.

My best doesn't seem good enough, but it's all I've got.

#UnitedHealth Group has avoided shareholder resolutions that would have asked investors at an upcoming meeting whether the company should audit how often it denies paying for members’ health care, following an outpouring of public anger last year.
One proposal from a group representing faith-based shareholders asked the Eden Prairie-based health care giant to develop a report on the human and economic toll that stems from limiting or delaying access to health care by #denying #payments via its insurance arm, UnitedHealthcare.
The proposal was withdrawn earlier this month, however, after UnitedHealth Group sought regulatory support for excluding the question from shareholder materials. Proponents said they believe they’ll have a better chance for success by re-submitting next year.

A second proposal sought third-party audits of denials to determine if correspondence with families included #factually #incorrect and #insensitive information. But UnitedHealth Groupsaid investor Chris Mueller missed the deadline for submissions.
👉Neither proposal was listed in materials distributed last week in advance of the UnitedHealth Group annual meeting scheduled for June 2,
when shareholders will vote on resolutions about #executive #compensation
⭐️including a new push for investors to approve “golden parachute” severance or termination payments.

I repeat: Vaccines save lives! Period.

"...So why have so many people grown skeptical of one of the most scientifically proven medical advancements in human history? And how did vocal anti-vaxxer, conspiracy theorist, and all-around slurry-brained mush man Robert F. Kennedy Jr. end up on track to be nominated as Secretary of Health and Human Services in Donald Trump’s cabinet?"
