Paybacksays...It's OK, the invisible hand of the marketplace will correct all this eventually. I predict with minimal loss of life. Minimal when compared to other loss of lives, like WW2, but not everyone, so that's good.
articiansays...Please pass legislation that forbids for-profit companies from supplying life-saving services.
You could also force every employee of a corporation to watch their own company's advertising schtick to understand what is expected of them by their clients.
Such a massive, apathetic disconnect there.

kingmobsays...The privatization of prisons...just does the wrong thing...the marketplace is not the answer for that problem.
iauisays...I think the anger and disgust I feel at this abhorrent systemic breakdown can be partly summarized in the quote by the news anchor at ~12:07:
"I saw documentation of [various examples of gross negligence]. Why should you care? Well, every day Corizon dispenses health care you pay $339,000 whether it does it's job or not."
WTF. Seriously, the news anchor just said that Corizon was involved in destroying fellow humans and then said that the reason you should care about it is that it costs you money.
There's something deeply wrong here. There's something deeply wrong with for-profit prisons. There's something deeply wrong with for-profit healthcare. And if the only reason a society would care about someone's intense suffering and death is that it might cost them some money then there is something deeply wrong with that society.
dannym3141says...Well said... what kind of society needs a reason to care after watching that? Is that what the human race has 'advanced' to after all these years?
