People will always look for ways to blame artists having opinions and being human beings instead of ever considering holding management accountable

Every time I go to the dr in the us, I pay the copay (because they wonāt see you without the copay) and then a few weeks later I get a bill saying I didnāt pay the copay. This has happened like six times at different doctors, is this a new scam or something?

They are beating people who maybe once had a broken taillight and sending them to foreign slave prisons while freeing the worst fraudsters and every corrupt pol. The juxtaposition is so stark and appalling.
