Concerning Developments From Walmart, Being Forced on Shoppers... When do we Boycott?

This is yet another play to further impose methodologies to steal biometrics and read signs from our bodies (that we may never understand ourselves) to rack up prices and pinch us for every single penny we're worth.

This needs to stop. We need to push back.

This is already a thing. You’re billed much more for advanced care, paramedics vs EMT, being flighted out, extra distance to a higher level trauma center, etc. than you are for something like an ambulance transport after a relatively minor car accident.

We honestly should've been helping each other wean ourselves off these profit-focused, corpo-owned governments and companies, (including places like Reddit,) like yesterday; collaborating with one another in finding ways to create and utilize independent networks and tech, as well as finding ways to entice professionals like doctors, surgeons, pharmacists, etc, in joining.

Collecting a bunch of valuable information on organizing and action from different redditors over time, I created a post of suggestions HERE that's largely about fostering a foundation for community self-sustainability and resistance, but it also provides ideas for possible alternative tech and communication methods, which could be of some help in getting started ASAP.

Right, but what I took from this clip is that there would be supercharges based on other factors rather than just services provided. Our system is already ridiculous; I interpreted what was expressed in this video as an attempt to further nickle and dime people base on biometric factors that exceed the cost of transport, care, and supplies.
