UnitedHealth CEO Assassinated
The murder of UnitedHealthcare's CEO is a strange story. On the one hand, the killer obviously was taking steps to avoid getting caught. He was wearing a hoodie. He used a silencer. He clearly had an escape plan.
On the other hand, he was wearing a distinctive backpack. He may have left a food wrapper and a water bottle at the scene. And there was writing on each of the three shell casings (the words "deny," "defend," and "depose").
Why whenever you run out of things to say or rebuttals you have to resort to childish name calling? You're making yourself look bad/dumb/immature.
he's been on my ignore list forever
he's just a loser troll who never contributes anything, only shows up to disparage others, best you put him ignore since the site has no interest in banning him apparently
Maybe you should start another atf thread, about me this time, to get me banned, whiny. Your antidotal evidence of expertise in starting those may help you be successful in one of these attempts.
No, a loner weirdo who is into the Unabomber doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would be working with others. Also no on #2.
I actually did think it was more likely that the wife did it. Spouses killing each other isn't uncommon, and people can get pretty crazy when going through a divorce. Plus I don't think we've had a lot of nutbags trying to murder CEOs, unless you way back to the anarchist days. But here we are. Hope its not the start of a trend.
If schoolchildren can handle it, surely these wealthy pompous asses can risk a few bullets coming in their direction.
Freedumbs!!!

My main point was that I doubted you still thought it was the wife.

Yeah, but if I start blocking people in here there wouldn't be anyone left to entertain me lol.
It reminds me when I saw the Trooper in Vegas and I asked him why he stopped posting on 2p2 and he said "I would never go back on that cesspool of a site" ... thank God we only have to deal with these trolls in P&S.

“To the Feds, I'll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn't working with anyone. This was fairly trivial: some elementary social engineering, basic CAD, a lot of patience. The spiral notebook, if present, has some straggling notes and To Do lists that illuminate the gist of it. My tech is pretty locked down because I work in engineering so probably not much info there. I do apologize for any strife of traumas but it had to be done. Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming. A reminder: the US has the #1 most expensive healthcare system in the world, yet we rank roughly #42 in life expectancy. United is the [indecipherable] largest company in the US by market cap, behind only Apple, Google, Walmart. It has grown and grown, but as our life expectancy? No the reality is, these [indecipherable] have simply gotten too powerful, and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allwed them to get away with it. Obviously the problem is more complex, but I do not have space, and frankly I do not pretend to be the most qualified person to lay out the full argument. But many have illuminated the corruption and greed (e.g.: Rosenthal, Moore), decades ago and the problems simply remain. It is not an issue of awareness at this point, but clearly power games at play. Evidently I am the first to face it with such brutal honesty.
Can we now agree that it is marxism 101 as expected?
Other than a claim that the "insurance industrial complex" does not produce a net benefit to society as a whole, what about his writing leads you to conclude it's Marxism 101?
In Marxism 101 either the people would have already risen up and demanded reforms or the healthcare industry would have collapsed under its own weight-- one of those. Either way no need for vigilantes.

? marxism isn't majoritarian in the USA, so the system isn't marxist (even if academics tried as much as they could to bring marxism in the system in some marginal, non economical topics).
But this assassination was a political, marxist assassination, as expected. It was marxist terrorism. Which is what happens everywhere you have marxists, but the system isn't as marxist as they would like.

I was being a bit facetious.
Arg I've read a few more posts and I'm glad I self-banned from the politics forum. If the Overton window in this place is reflective of the wider american population, then goddamn, we're all screwed, gl.

just found out that Marxism 101 is "respecting what the Feds do for the country"

This place is significantly to the left of the american mainstream but I am not sure if that is something that will scare you less or more
Grunge:
Probably not the best messaging in light of what happened, the reaction, and what has actually had attention shined on it that the new CEO of UHC had a video leaked where he proudly claims to his employees full steam ahead with Thompson’s vision

I hope he's not a fan of lattes.

It is amazing to me that these politics tinged murder/assasination attempts usually have pundits ascribe the main or at least a significant reason for the those actions to be those particular political influences. No. When someone tries to kill , knowing that he will almost surely get caught, (or is planning to subsequently commit suicide) the main reason by far for the actions is almost always that the perpetrator is seriously mentally ill. Period. The political connection is just an excuse.

Not an expert on the subject but if it is indeed true that the main tenet of marxism is "From each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs" then almost all of the people who claim to be for marxism really aren't. They are only for the second part and a portion of the first part. Most people can't be great at anything that will benefit others. But many could be good and instead settle on being only mediocre or worse. Those people want the best and the brightest to achieve up to their potential for the good of everybody (especially them) but they would usually have no interest in getting as good as they themselves could if marxism was instituted.
It’s looking like the McDonald’s employee who turned him in will not be getting the 50k or the 10k rewards based on technicalities. Her claim was denied.
the yelp reviews for the mcdonalds are wild, tons of people posting about rats

Thank you. I probably do have you mistaken for someone else. Apologies.

That's about the least surprising event in the entire situation. They probably went with, "You called 911 and not the number on the flier. Enjoy making those burgers tomorrow."
The governor called this person a hero, yet no one is going to give her the scratch.
