      I’ve known this was coming for a few years after the CEO of my previous mental health employer told us he wanted to grow the company large enough to compete with Amazon who were going to be entering the primary care and mental healthcare field. He also warned of Walmart following suit.

      It was a hard pill to swallow and I hoped he was wrong, but here we are… It’s going to be a scary time if monopolies like Amazon and Walmart strangle out real providers and fuck up our healthcare industry even worse. We need these fuckers to have this fail spectacularly to preserve the industry.

          Right!?..

          I have joked for years that we are living in a simulation and in 2016, they cranked up the satire and absurdity levels. Then in 2020, they cranked up the suffering factor, but left satire and absurdity turned up.

          It has seriously felt like living in The Onion universe these last few years.

        Totally! You already have it bad enough.

        Sadly, the critical group will always be inferior to the ignorant or clueless. And hence could be ignored for decision-making. It won’t fail. Just throw enough moneyz to marketing and people would even buy your bath-water. Luckily Amazon doesn’t have that many moneyz. /s

        Well, in the end, that’s the ironic part. The american dream of freedom. You really got it. Sadly noone ever asked if that freedom should be for companies too.
