Clearly a simulacrum. Helium-based life form.

Historical comparisons to Roman imperial decline are incorrect.

Yes, we have gladiatorial combat staged for the ruler's birthday, plans for a triumphal arch, and oaths of fealty. But the Romans had better roads, principled senators, and respect for science.

So I was out today in public (ran into an estate sale on the way back from a routine doctor's appt) and fascinating to hear the chatter among the people waiting in line to get in. A bunch of people complaining about healthcare costs, the greed of CEOs... *multiple* people who had to drive their kids to another hospital because our local hospital was taken over by HCA and wouldn't accept them as patients; complaints about how the hospital only cares about profits, and how different it is (with no blame to doctors and nurses, only the company and its executives). It was a lot of people nodding and agreeing, and (as far as I could tell) a very mixed political demographic and socioeconomic factors. Healthcare and hospital system CEOs may be one of the most hated groups of people in the world. #random #healthcare #economy
