It is true that sometimes a person my behave improperly because of ignorance, but more often people do have the knowledge that should deter them from wrong, yet, this knowledge does not impact upon their behavior.

Want to know one of the biggest problems in healthcare? Deductibles.
Deductibles are defined by the plans the insurance companies design. Then they are approved to be offered by the feds or employers. Then we the people decide what deductible we want when we choose our plans.
Often we choose higher deductibles because we are healthy or because we can only afford the lowest premium plan.
When we got get care and can't pay our deductible for whatever reason, you know who takes all the credit risk and losses?
Doctors, hospitals and caregivers
They have ZERO to do with designing, selling or choosing the plans.
But when you can't pay, they are the ones that become the bill collectors we hate. The ones that put millions into default and bankruptcy,
DESPITE HAVING NO SAY in the plans and deductibles we all choose.
That is one fucked up system that needs to be redesigned.
Next time I'll tell you how insurance companies decide not to pay what they contractually owe to the hospitals and use delay tactics like denials, they know they will approve , just to earn interest on premiums.
And the hospitals aren't innocent. But I'll let them off the hook for now because they have to take anyone that walks in the doors

Palestine just tried to murder thousands of civilians on buses but failed because they set the bombs to go off at 9:30 PM instead of 9:30 AM.
Their utter stupidity is not to be mistaken for moral superiority.
Israel has concluded that Ariel and Kfir Bibas were barbarically murdered by terrorists in captivity in November 2023 and that Hamas did not return the body of Shiri Babas as promised, thereby violating the ceasefire. Meanwhile, Israel has been the target of attempted terror attacks, with multiple explosive devices planted on multiple buses.
Those who insist that Israel stop defending itself in the face of genocidal terror are asking the world’s only Jewish State to sign a suicide pact that no other nation-state, including our own, would ever sign.
Once, excusable, twice, it's not an accident. Hundreds of hours of media training... You can romanticize the Nazis and not specifically hate Jewish people, but it's ABSOLUTELY STILL HATE. Could have used an open palm. It was a dog whistle to that crowd.
