American health care, or lack thereof, is a fucking joke. If they treat you, they will be on your ass .... low hanging fruit for them to collect from the insurer(s). If you need something out of the realm of being treated for the symptoms, best of luck! You are on your OWN. At this point, I am convinced that AI would provide much better healthcare than these human garbage charlatans. Focal seizures; blood clot in the leg, and now at the ER getting tests and another MRI ... only because the care he was getting was insufficient to his illness. After his 2nd surgery, Medicare was to blame for him not seeing the cancer doctor and no follow up with the surgeon. They shuffled him to extensive rehab, where they worked the shit out of him to the point of him crying. Then they discharged him to a nursing facility where he got rough care by Laquita, Tanique, and other nurses. This morning, I saw from the camera I had placed in his room how rough she was. She hid her face in a red hoodie as she changed his briefs. Dad screamed several times. It infuriated me. Don't get me wrong, there were some great nurses too along the way. However, I've seen enough and he would rather pass peacefully than deal with all of this bullshit. When he speaks to us, it's a bunch of gibberish, and then he clearly asks, "do you understand?", or "okay?" He has not recovered from surgery and has gotten worse, but "he's not hospice ready" yet. If it were legal, he would want us to put him out of this torment and misery and give him the decency of being left alone to die peacefully. Insurance has us all by the fucking balls. "Why are y'all doing this to me?" was one of the questions he asked when he could speak, but doing so took a lot out of him. American Health Care, or lack thereof, is a fucking joke, and it's very much protected by a rigged system. Bitcoin fixes this. I hope things get better from here on out and Dad does not linger like this until his death ... and may it be peaceful. In the meantime, I have over 2,000 docs and counting to submit to the VA for him and mom. Thought I'd take a little break and note an update. -- Big Kahuna's #humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa More real testimonies about the American medical system: https://www.reddit.com/r/rant/comments/1aqtuxc/the_american_medical_system_is_a_complete_joke/

I have to stop and question why the fake news narrative on the death for Sam Rivers, the Limp Bizkit bassist, was all over the news today when he actually died of an overdose on February 25, 2024. 🤔

~Project Orange-Pill ~ [example] - This evening, I had the opportunity illustrating to my wife how bitcoin is instant, unlike that small check I deposited through the bank's mobile app. The bank would take approximately 24 hours for these funds to clear, whereas a lightning transaction happens in nano-seconds. Very organic. I didn't lecture her or harp on it. The contrast between our “pending deposit” and something like “instant sats” quietly exposed the inefficiency of the legacy system without me having to say, “See? X-bank is slow." Orange-pilling needs to be a lived example and not just a theory, or 'my thing'. 🤙 image

The #moon is still hours away from my horizon and I won't be catching it tonight. Its right over Greenwich, UK according to theskylive-dot-com. Its journey is interesting nonetheless.
