They’re afraid!

I think the health insurance companies are actually taken by surprise by the amount of people who sincerely wish them death. Maybe we will see some almost-meaningful change soon?

    The usual translation is “political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.” It’s a Mao Zedong quote.

      Thank you, now that I hear it, yeah. I forgot it was a translation that I was remembering, and thus more easily misremembering.

      Edit: Though I think the first version I read was “stem” rather than “barrel”. That was probably just the translator being…flowery…though.
