UnitedHealth CEO assassinated

Apparently the killer used a fake ID and paid in cash to stay at the hostel he did. Also, used a burner phone (to call who?).

100 percent a hired hitman.

No idea about motive though.

Might be something to do with this...





In related news, Anthem has already decided to roll back its decision to time limit coverage on anaestesia use in operations based on expected duration of said procedures.

They view the world through the internet. It’s just a meme to them.

It really is. Like if tomorrow the headline was, "Biden assassinated" or "Nancy Pelosi assassinated" I wouldn't be grinning or laughing and fist pumping. I'd decry it and feel bad all around because that shouldn't be happening. But these people really seem to have the religion that, anyone that is remotely an "enemy" of their worldview... well, they just ought to be dead. It's childish and reprehensible and horrible. These kind of people should never, ever be trusted to have power.

That's been all of human history. Some are just more honest about it than others.

Shredder could've done more than blow up the Channel Six building. I don't mean as far as murdering Splinter, but think of the possibilities if censors were not an issue.

Shredder and Krang combined had the biggest arsenal of any villains in all of the cartoons.

The fact is, he was the head of an incredibly unpopular health insurer with a track record of rejecting a third of all claims automatically, earned over $10M last year, and likely caused thousands of deaths as a result of rejecting covering vital operations and procedures. The fact few people are mourning this assassination is completely telling.

You might not be, but I can easily bet a whole swathe of MAGA cultists would.

Same people that wished all the unvaccinated would just drop dead.

'Get the shot or get shot". and all that.

I don’t think the right-wingers and libertarians are exactly mourning this guy. The mainstream media is blowing this up because he is a rich CEO. Meanwhile, the average person is trying to figure how they’re going to afford their groceries as well as Christmas presents.

Keep in mind, big pharma hasn’t been kind and fair to the People. I’m not at all condoning what this assassin did. I’m just saying, they are bringing this upon themselves with their greed.

This is kind of betraying a pretty big ignorance in how healthcare actually works.

The US healthcare system is a joke. Other countries treat their citizens better when it comes to their medical needs and coverage, and we’re supposed to be the “model” country for them to admire and envy?

Wasn't Rittenhouse attacked and he shot them in self defense. You make it sound like he was shooting into a crowd at random.

You’re correct, but that’s not the point I was making.

And it's an interesting point. As like, if we pretend that was a survey or a census and not a self defense shooting, and the sample size of leftists was that tiny (the people getting shot)... and you STILL end up with multiple pedophiles? lol... that's not good.

I was trying to be funny, but yes that’s exactly what I was trying to say.
