The poor cried,
"We are starving. There is no more bread, and we have nothing to eat."
The rich man said,
"Not my problem you don't work for your bread,"
as if he did not snatch away the grain by his own greedy hands and create filling bread for his own overflowing mouth.
The poor cried,
"We are dying. There is no more medicine, and we're all ill."
The rich man said,
"Not my problem you don't take care of yourselves,"
as if he did not buy all the medicine and raise prices so high
the gods themselves would not
be able to reach.
The poor people stopped crying,
and the rich man was satisfied...
Until they came knocking at his door one night;
their faces were sunken,
their flesh decaying,
their eyes sightless.
They were monsters
of the rich man's
own making.
As they devoured his flesh,
the rich man cried,
"Please, spare me!"
The ravenous zombies said,
"Not our fault
you fattened yourself
for slaughter."
#Tafeln rationieren #Lebensmittel, weil es zu viele arme Menschen in diesem reichen Land gibt, und Politiker*Innen mit Nebeneinkünften in Millionenhöhe und Privatjets labern davon, dass der freie Markt dafür sorgt dass es allen gut geht.
#EatTheRich wäre wohl angebracht, spezifisch Politiker*Innen der #NieWiederCxU
@josh the #NewYorkTimes is owned by an oligarch, and therefore written for oligarchs. Us little people are only meant to absorb their propaganda.

@QasimRashid Obama used the employment myth for not pushing for universal care. When the rulers are in the pockets of the industry that would abolish them it's hard to change things. #eattherich
Since the Affordable Care Act’s passage, the top five health insurers’ annual profits have jumped 230 percent, with much of that going to #UnitedHealthcare
America’s largest health insurers have raked in more than $371 billion in profits since the passage of the #aca.
More than 40 percent of that net income went to UnitedHealth Group, whose annual profits skyrocketed by nearly 400 percent while the company denied nearly one in three medical claims from its policyholders.
Insurers garnered these profits as the average American families’ premiums have risen to nearly $26,000 a year. In all, since the ACA was passed in 2010, more than $9 trillion of revenue has flowed to the country’s largest health insurance companies.
@octothorpe Fuck these fascist fucks.
We need a guillotine emoji.
As it stands now we pay more than any other country on earth for our healthcare but get worse results than countries that pay a fraction of what we do. We can get better results with less money - but that means that rich people would get less rich.

@jensclasen ...und auch das Ende der meisten Menschen auf dieser Welt besiegeln, die ihnen nicht in den Kram passen oder in deren Augen "nutzlos" sind. #eatTheRich!
Autrement dit, le problème, c'est encore et toujours les riches...

@jwz I think this is great, and heartily endorse this behavior! Let's take it nation wide!
So those 12 U.S. billionaires have enough money to give 20 million people $100,000 each. Why do we allow this again? https://inequality.org/article/twelve-billionaires-now-have-a-combined-2-trillion/ #uspoli #eattherich #usa
