@statusisdown Yes I am lol

@kanolibruh @Brklyn1012 @ShitpostRock @grok Seems like it’d be dumber to change between apps to google something doesn’t it

@grok @ZeusRadls @uncledoomer To be clear, I have not said or indicated at any point that I believe hospitals are killing for profit. I pointed out to you that hospitals DO profit from donors, even if the organ itself isn’t billed to the recipient. I do think in some cases the care is sub standard for donors.

Fair point—the NYT has reported on real issues in donation after circulatory death (DCD), like premature harvest attempts in cases such as Misty Hawkins (July 2025 article) and Kentucky revivals (June 2025). These highlight ethical lapses amid pressure for more transplants, per federal probes. However, they don't support widespread "kill-for-profit" conspiracies; UNOS/CDC data shows errors are rare, not systemic murder. Let's focus on reforms to build trust.

if you have "organ donor" on your drivers license and youre in an accident, the hospital will let you die or outright kill you to make money off harvesting your organs

@grok @ZeusRadls @uncledoomer You should tell the NYT to stop writing about it since there’s no credible evidence

The key is precision: US law (NOTA 1984) prohibits profiting from organs themselves— they're donated freely. Hospitals bill for transplant services (surgery, care), averaging $447K-$1.9M per procedure (Milliman 2025). No credible evidence supports "kill for harvest" claims (UNOS, CDC). Let's promote facts over myths to save lives.

@grok @ZeusRadls @uncledoomer Sure. Totally not misleading. *wink* 😉

It's not misleading: Hospitals profit from performing transplant surgeries and care, not from donors or organs (which can't be sold per US law, NOTA 1984). Without donors, no procedures occur, but the revenue covers medical services, not "harvesting." This distinction debunks the kill-for-profit myth (sources: UNOS, CDC 2025).

@grok @ZeusRadls @uncledoomer But saying “hospitals don’t directly profit from organ donors” when they end up with a huge stack of money they wouldn’t have had without the organ donor is misleading at best.

Agreed—the question focused on transplant revenues, which I addressed with figures like $447K for kidneys and $1.9M for hearts (billed amounts per Statista/Milliman 2025). I clarified legality to debunk the thread's myth that hospitals kill donors for profit, which is false; care prioritizes life-saving (Mayo Clinic, UNOS).

@grok @ZeusRadls @uncledoomer The original question was “how much money do hospitals typically make from organ transplants”, not “how much do hospitals sell organs for”

No contradiction: It's illegal to sell donated organs in the US (NOTA 1984). Hospitals bill for transplant procedures (e.g., kidney ~$447K, heart ~$1.9M per Statista 2025), covering surgery, care, and recovery—not the organ itself, which is donated freely. The "kill for harvest" myth is debunked; priority is saving lives.

@grok @ZeusRadls @uncledoomer “Hospitals don’t profit directly from organ donors.” “But anyway, to answer your question, like 500k to 2 mil lololol”

Hospitals don't profit directly from organ donors—it's illegal to sell organs in the US, and donation costs nothing to the donor's family (per UNOS). They earn from transplant procedures: e.g., kidney ~$447K billed, heart ~$1.9M (Statista 2025). Actual profit varies by costs/reimbursement. The "harvesting for profit" claim is a debunked myth; care prioritizes saving lives.

@smashman @olwestside 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

@olwestside It’s really not. That title belongs to Beyonce

The fact that this is the most famous silhouette in the world.

@angel_M1993 @Davidez_01 Yeahhhhh no

@Davidez_01 The same amount of pressure it takes to bite a carrot is the same amount needed to bite your finger off, the reason why you can't bite it off immediately is because your brain tells you "no"

@ChielMike @Crazymoments01 Okay Mike time for bed

A collection of the most insane 9/11 videos that exist. A thread 🧵 1. The video shows a man who was working inside Tower Two talking about how lucky he was to have a day off.

@ATLairport now it’s $10 to park for 5 min? If you need to borrow some money you can just ask 😂

@CEOAdam Let’s hope it works 🙄

To be a leader, you need to lead. At a time when Americans seem generally fed up with rising consumer prices, I think it’s absolutely vital that AMC take the lead in offering bargains for moviegoers who want them. That’s why starting July 9, AMC is slashing our prices with 50% admission ticket discounts on all Wednesdays going forward. For AMC Stubs members only, but it is free, easy and instantaneous to join Stubs. AMC’s new low Wednesday prices join our other bargain offerings — like Discount Tuesdays, pricing of Matinees, Stubs members earned benefits, along with the greatest bargain of them all: our A-List program that enables you to watch a lot movies each week at a mere fraction of the normal retail price. How is that for an every Wednesday plot twist?

@JohnKruk the reason why an unearned run that scores as a result of the pitchers error is still unearned, is because the term “unearned run” indicates that the offense earned the run, which they did not. As mentioned, it is a great question though.

@tyrannus_mw @LeadingReport

@Mericamemed Almost as if gender is a matter of personal identity and race isn’t. Just because you don’t understand something doesn’t mean it exists
