Appearently the stock holders heard he was murdered... and went back to the meeting. That is to me, the same feeling as the poor when they heard he died. So yeah... best fate.

The reward for information the NYPD is offering is hilariously low. I honestly wonder if his family just hated his guts because $10,000 is significantly less than he made in a day. That wouldn't even pay for the medical bill UHC just denied you service for.

Could be they just don't give a shit. One of the fascinating things about this is that everyone seems to be more or less on the same page, regardless of political or social affiliation.

Left, right, center, progressive, maga, have now all found their common ground: Fuck that guy in particular.


Honestly, this sudden mass outbreak of prosopagnosia is really quite something.

One of the articles pointed out they made an AI to help them deny more coverage to sick people and it was this guy, in particular, who managed it.

When they asked if they were still using it, United Health didn't answer.

I wish I could claim credit for that one but I can't. Bloody true though.

Indeed. I've got my problems but I'm pretty secure in the knowledge that nobody will dance for joy when they hear of my decease.

Apparently the backpack the cops think was his was full of monopoly money. What in the Looney Tunes...

Increasingly, it is obviously a political act.

Which the cops don't know what to do about when it doesn't come from the Right and they can just ignore it.
