Click-through to the Secret Panel is a must. #ThankYouForYourService!
@koh_kun @MrLovenstein Yeah, don't bother. Worry about yourselves.
As my country was being taken over and ransacked by DOGE in the early days I was working with a client in Europe I'd had for years. One of the other members of the team I was working on, who lives there in EU, thought it was a good time to talk about how he agrees in principle with DOGE and anti-immigration.
Y'all got the same fucking shit going on and in fact it's the same fucking billionaires puppeteering your politicians.
@MrLovenstein #AltText Four-panel comic. First a guy says “I need healthcare” and the man behind a desk labeled insurance says “LMAO! You serious?” Next, the insurance guy tells his coworker “hey this guy wants healthcare!” and the coworker laughs loudly. Next the guy wakes up from bed in a cold sweat and screams “nooooo!” with a horrified expression. His partner in bed next to him says “what’s wrong, Sven?” Still sweating and frowning, he says “I think I had an American dream.”
In the secret fifth panel, his partner says “which one, the one where government agents murder you, or the usual one about mass shooters?”
@MrLovenstein Could be considered an American dream now.
"They're not calling me a 'terrorist' and carting me away!" :) :) :)
*wakes*
"Awww...."
@MrLovenstein was it Carlin to say that it's called the American Dream because you have to close your eyes to believe in it?
But this strip hits hard does it not?
insurance agent; would you like to buy breathing coverage?

Yes, who hasn't had that American nightmare when they hear talking bribed conservatives about privatizing our healthcare services here in Europe.
Luckily, other than in the American oligarchy, in real democracies, flawed as they are, representation cannot just ignore the people to serve corporations. And other than in the two party system from hell, politicians have to fear voters' choices. Let's keep it that way!
