Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

He can afford health care like you and I have never can, nor will we. His high priced doctors will keep him going past 100.

[–] Windex007@lemmy.world 17 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Tough to say. He'll need never livers and kidneys no matter how good the intermediate care is. Not saying buying a healthy young person for spare parts isn't beyond him.

You'll know he's grokked how badly he's fucked his body once he starts up an organ printing/regeneration company. Which I guarantee he will, assuming by his calculation he figures out the reality of his situation in time. If he finds out late...? A bunch of Ugrher people are going to be getting blood tests and one of them is going to disappear along with any records they ever existed at all.

This is the man going around using his own child as a human shield. He might intend to harvest organs from his own children. Somehow a new low, despite also selectively making sure all his children are AMAB.

He'll buy a company that does work in a related field. Or perhaps neural link will suddenly become more active in other organs, and he'll dump money into that.

The neural link idea is that he'll eventually not need a body anyway. It's a transhumanism thing. Have fun with that rabbit hole.

He may try to take over one of the companies developing CRISPR technology to grow himself new organs... or just buy some from a shady body parts dealer in the 3rd world and claim that he had them grown using CRISPR.. (lie like he always does) and make big promises on how you will be able to special order your cure at a kiosk in 2 years.

Didn't work out for Michael Jackson and Prince. Eventually it'll spiral out of control.

Yes , sometimes the hubris that comes with extreme wealth, combine with the access it gives you and freedom from consequences. The drugs don't care. They'll destroy him. He's a horrible person but I assume some of the awful decisions are drug related.
