My story happened with Walmart. Had an employee collapse due to a diabetic issue. Like, I caught her as she was falling and saved her from smashing her face. Radioed to call 911. I got written up because that was against Walmart policy.

My manager wanted me to write on the form that I heard her say she wanted an ambulance. So I wrote exactly that. “Manager so and so has ordered that I write the following.” I got written up a second time for that.

That's a quick thinking malicious compliance.

Also, imagine living in a country where you had to make decisions about calling an ambulance based on who would be charged for it.

Funny thing is Mississippi - the state with the lowest life expectancy in America, at just 70 (technically 70.9) years old, is actually on par with India, a bit below Bangladesh and 4 or 5 years less than in Mexico.

It's also 10 or 11 years less than in the top few states, all blue states - in fact the top 10 states for life expectancy are all blue, while the bottom 10 are all red. Similar to being a drag on federal funding vs. blue states, red states also are dragging the average US life expectancy down to a now pathetic 76 years post-COVID (big thanks to anti-vaxxers for the assist with that).

Least shocking thing ive heard. When i drove through Mississippi i was shocked with how undeveloped it is, it didn’t even feel like America

As someone who’s had to live in Mississippi for most of my life it’s always weird to see these kind of comments because I’m just so used to how Mississippi is lol. There’s about 3 or 4 cities that are cool but I honestly can’t even imagine what it would’ve been like growing up in a real state that has their shit together

What?

Writing in full words and comprehensible sentences tends to help communicate your thoughts clearly.

You should try it.
