Luigi was from a life of privilege, parents likely firmly in the 1%, and was incredibly well educated in a high paying field.
He had to deal with the American Healthcare system on what was likely the worst possible plan (he read Any Rand) for one injury in 20s and threw his entire life away to merc a single CEO.
It really speaks to the two different America’s the rich and everyone else experiences. Like, it gets said all the time the wealthy couldn’t live like an average person. But they really can’t.
It’s a big reasons conservatives hate any kind of education and neoliberals are fine with shit k-12 and unaffordable college so onlly elites afford it. They both benefit from a large poor working class, and that’s easier when they can’t figure out what’s going on and have been treated like shit since they were kids.
Which is stupid because I is largely random. Who knows how many Einstein’s were born in poverty and never had a chance to learn shit?
It constantly drives me crazy that the Dem party just kinda forgot about education.
That’s a really good point.
According to the NYT
The back pain was not his only struggle. He wrote at times about “brain fog” that had worsened during his college years, making studying more difficult. Doctors could not seem to figure out what was happening, he reported.
“It’s absolutely brutal to have such a life-halting issue,” he wrote.
He also posted on a page for people dealing with irritable bowel syndrome, saying that he had undergone some testing for the condition. He said the testing had been covered by Blue Cross Blue Shield — his only reference in the Reddit writings to insurance coverage.

When you don’t have diagnosis, the medical system really isn’t there for you. You’re treated as a malingerer.
