I worked at Activision. 48 hours was my longest shift. Basically boiled down to a broken build, the leads not knowing it was broken let day shift off. Build arrived and it was easier to make us stay with the promise of free food and a rotating nap schedule. I slept under my desk for 2 hours that shift using an unopened roll of paper towels as my pillow.

Oof, I hope so so badly that the gig economy comes back to bite companies so so hard. The rise of the gig economy is so gross and shitty.

Two questions! 1. Have you met someone who read your articles and thanked you for helping them see through the bullcrap? (Or are they usually stubborn?)

1. Based on your research of people do you think if I threw my morals out the window and created a "Space Age Sticker" people put on their arm to sneeze into and called it a "Sin Stopper" I could be a millionaire?

Nope, because everyone is paying into one pool. Right now, the country is split up into little (or relatively large) insurance pools. The more people paying into the pool the cheaper it becomes for everyone. So yes you may get a whole bunch of people who get cancer or require heart surgeries or something, but the majority for most of their lives will be healthy. Those healthy people are subsidizing the sick ones right now, but when those healthy people become sick (which they will) then others will be subsidizing them. It sort of works that way already, if people go to the doctor and can't or won't pay, then tax payers subsidize it. We just don't get anything at all for it. The only difference you would see is less doctors fighting with insurance who's only goal is to make shareholders happy at the expense of peoples well being. I think we should socialize healthcare and then let people buy private insurance if they want to, they can feel free to throw money away by giving it to a company who will deny them coverage even though they've been paying their whole life into the system.
