He’s not dead.
Comatose, non-responsive, vegetable? Probably.
But the hospotal isn’t going to keep a rotting corpse for a month.Smaile@lemmy.ca 1 hour ago
They will if they’re getting leaned on politically, but you are right in that he’s not sitting in a bed, they’ll just shove him into the morge if they have one.

Shit, it’s Kentucky hospital too…
They’re not exactly the best at making that whole “alive or dead” call.
Natasha Miller says she was getting ready to do her job preserving donated organs for transplantation when the nurses wheeled the donor into the operating room.
She quickly realized something wasn’t right. Though the donor had been declared dead, he seemed to her very much alive.
“He was moving around — kind of thrashing. Like, moving, thrashing around on the bed,” Miller told NPR in an interview. “And then when we went over there, you could see he had tears coming down. He was crying visibly.”
The donor’s condition alarmed everyone in the operating room at Baptist Health hospital in Richmond, Ky., including the two doctors, who refused to participate in the organ retrieval, she says.
"The procuring surgeon, he was like, ‘I’m out of it. I don’t want to have anything to do with it,’ " Miller says. “It was very chaotic. Everyone was just very upset.”
Miller says she overheard the case coordinator at the hospital for her employer, Kentucky Organ Donor Affiliates (KODA), call her supervisor for advice.
"So the coordinator calls the supervisor at the time. And she was saying that he was telling her that she needed to ‘find another doctor to do it’ – that, ‘We were going to do this case. She needs to find someone else,’ " Miller says. “And she’s like, ‘There is no one else.’ She’s crying — the coordinator — because she’s getting yelled at.”

Yeah and the sitting president wouldn’t possibly fuck a child…

They aren’t going to let him rot. That isn’t connected to the possibility of him ever regaining consciousness whether a replacement is called for.
I don’t think anyone here thinks he’s literally just sitting out on a hospital bed flat lined.

Yeah, isn’t there some law about social security and brain death…

Clearly their problem isn’t with good wages or quality healthcare, it’s the “universal” part they have a problem with. And I don’t think it’s necessarily because they want some people to go without (although that could be the case for at least some of them), it’s just that they realize that for everyone to have enough, they have to have less, and that’s unacceptable to them.

They believe everything is zero-sum, so they have to be getting less of others are getting more.
The reality is that they don’t actually have to have less of these things for everyone to have more. It just has to be done more efficiently, something the current system is terrible at by design so there can be 5 unnecessary middlemen taking their cut.

Well, they’re right about that. The Earth, and all the resources on it, are finite. The more any one person owns, the less everyone else can own. Now, I would agree that the Earth’s resources are abundant, and that there’s more than enough for everyone on Earth (at our current population level, at least) to not only survive but thrive. But, because the Earth’s resources are finite, it’s not possible for any one person to own an infinite amount of resources, let alone for that person to own infinite resources and there still be resources leftover for everyone else.

I think for a lot of those kinds of people it’s pathological. For example, I remember reading in Careless People (a memoir by a former Facebook/Meta employee) about some of the things the author witnessed about Mark Zuckerberg made it seem like he only wanted to do things because no one else could, not because he personally derived any enjoyment out of it. I’ve seen this personally with philanthropists too. They don’t actually like the disadvantaged kids they’re helping (I’m talking literal racists), but they like the idea that they’re the only ones that these kids can turn to. Basically I’m saying I don’t think they believe life is zero-sum, but they have a pathological need to create zero-sum circumstances where they are the “winners” and the rest of us losers.

That’s some flexibility with your boot kissing.

Even though if you didn't tell them about the part they're missing, they wouldn't realize because it's so little of the whole. But they have to have every damn cent they can grab.

Is why conservatives live Ayn Rand. Rail against it then die taking advantage of it.

If you’re a politician and you don’t report to public for almost a month, that’s like taking a sick leave and not telling anyone. Imagine how that would look like. But since these fuckers are part of the “elite”, they can do whatever the fuck they want.
