  • I don’t see assassin as “hero” or “heartthrob”.

    Our high trust society has eroded due to massive corruption at the highest level (SCOTUS popularity/trust plummeted) , late stage capitalism and catering to billionaires, and incompetent politicians. The incoming administration will be without a doubt no help in this aspect.

    The assassin has unfortunately become “necessary”. I don’t praise his actions but I understand why this person decided to take it into their own hands (ie, family or loved one impacted by “deny, delay, defend” policies).




  • This company is absolutely tone deaf to the animosity around the death of this company units CEO.

    For decades they have been the dealers of death across the United States through their “delay, deny, defend” industry policies. Historical, among the worst offenders of this practice and it shows in their stock price.

    So now they act shocked when 1 no name, piece of shit (he was behind the decision to use AI to deny claims…), rich cunt gets gunned down in the streets like a stray dog? To UHC, this should just be another business day, business as usual.

    Short term results of his death:

    • UNH stock dip
    • profit maximizing policies put on short hold across industry (already seen 1 company pull back changes on anesthesia limits)
    • “fear” lingering in the minds of health insurance executives

    Long term:

    • as stocks recover and new administration rolls in, policies re-instated
    • install new generic cookie cutter CEO
    • 24/7/365 armed security details provided to C-level executives, and ultimately whatever costs passed down to policy holders
    • wait for media cycle to end/move on
    • nothing changes for the people

    One thing I do notice is an increase in bi-partisanship around the death of this one person. If it gains enough traction beyond the memes, could this be the catalyst that unites the working class against the rich thus causing real and permanent change?

    One can hope, but I’m honestly not holding my breath.










  • The interview was interesting and glad candidates are willing to go into these hostile territories even if the conversation falls on deaf ears. For me, I was never undecided. I am voting Democrat.

    What I want to know: will a Kamala-Walz adminstration have a unified house and senate to push this country forward (getting Roe v Wade codified to start)? All of this focus/media attention on the presidential elections but we need to flip seats.

    What’s the temperature across the country right now?
