  1. The bullshittt media covering for a the ceo of a crappy company by limiting things people can say in HIS OP ED. Like a bunch of bitchess. This is why people do not trust the media anymore The New York Times turned off the comment section on the UnitedHealth CEO's op-ed after it became flooded with negative replies accusing the executive of empty promises. Andrew Witty, the CEO of UnitedHealth Group, mourned the loss of UnitedHeathCare CEO Brian Thompson in an editorial piece published by the New York Times Friday, while also offering sympathy to those frustrated with the healthcare system. But while Witty said that he was "willing to partner with anyone" to find ways to provide high-quality care at a lower cost, hundreds of readers mocked him, saying he offered no real solutions to the problem. "I have read this twice, and in essence it says nothing. What is he proposing to change or improve?" one person commented. "Tone-deaf corporate speak design to try and quell the anger of the masses; nice try," another person wrote under the op-ed. "This is the quintessential CEO statement: not a single actual idea or recommendation, and it gets released by corporate media anyways," another person said in the comments. "What a disingenuous piece," one person commented. Some users even shared their own stories, saying they had been denied claims that left them with large bills they were unable to pay. "Denying an elderly woman (my mom) gap health insurance because she has a preexisting condition - arthritis," another person commented. "That's corporate greed." "When I had UHC and my then husband needed spinal surgery UHC deemed most of it medically unnecessary and socked us with a $300k bill as our share," one user commented, adding that it took them two years to get the bill reduced. The Times turned off the comments hours after the publication of the op-ed, however the old comments are still available to read. Thompson's murder sparked a surge in social media users critiquing and discussing health insurance companies. Similar to the NYT's comment section, dozens shared stories of times where they were allegedly turned away by insurance companies. Others have joined a fanbase for Luigi Mangione, the alleged suspect in Thompson's murder, creating GoFundMes for his legal defense and boosting support for him online. Mangione has been charged with second-degree murder.
  2. I can agree with this. She made the WNBA interesting to watch. I literally cannot remember anyone who did that before.

    Actors who should be banned from further TV

    I came here to say George Lopez. He is one of the least funny humans ever and every few years he gets a new TV show as the token Latino. They are always terrible.

    Does MAGA have a problem with teh gheys or no?

    I have no issues with the gays. The only issue I have with the trannies is that they want the world to bend to them because they are special. The gays just go about their business.

    Jokes and deflections. You can tell you do not have a child in school now.

    What does the media do now and when does it start?

    The last election cycle severely damaged the mainstream medias credibility. They got stuck in an echo chamber of hate for Trump and convinced not only themselves but everyone else that Harris was going to win. I am not sure they have the power to really do anything at this point.

    Supreme Court

    Teachers are a child's guide for 8 hours a day. To think they would not have a large influence on kids is stupid and part of the problem. Douches like you try to downplay the problem by making it sound like this is not happening and that the parents are over reacting.

    I have a normal kid thank focking god. I would be furious if some teacher at school convinced him he was a girl and then tried to keep it from me.

    Ok so a parent that was not told about their kid CAN bring a suit?

    Syria

    I am absolutely shocked to be honest. I really through there would be a genocide of the Alawites. In the back of my mind I still think that is a possibility. The Assads and a small minority ruled for decades with ruthless power. I can imagine there are going to be a lot of Sunnis that want blood.

    Blame Canada!

    I am not sure they could handle the culture shock though to be honest.

    Blame Canada!

    I would love it but they would likely have to become our 51st through 56th. That is far too big to be one state.
  13. Had the majority of capitol protestors been black no one would have been arrested. They would have just chalked it up to the summer of rage, let them burn and loot then moved on.

    United Healthcare CEO shot, killed in midtown NYC

    We are in 2024. With all the tech we have how can that possibly be?

    United Healthcare CEO shot, killed in midtown NYC

    Was he a paid Italian professional hitman? No. They are going to be more bloody and way more professional. Was he a WILLING hitman? Absolutely, and he has likely done it before in different settings. The fact that leaving his cell phone and backpack has resulted in nothing makes me believe he is a foreign national. Otherwise they would be blasting his name everywhere

    Oh he used a silencer for sure. If you look at it you can see the silencer in the pic.

    United Healthcare CEO shot, killed in midtown NYC

    Can we at least admit this was a hitman? His gun jammed and he did not panic at all. Had a silencer. When it was all done he again did not panic. He did not run. A regular every day person is not going to have that in them. They are going to speed everything up. Once he gets to the park he dumps his backpack. They still have NO ID for him even though they HAVE to have his fingerprints by now. Also. If someone killed a president or a famous person they would likely be turned in pretty quick by the public. With how little sympathy the public has for the healthcare industry even if someone sees him they may not turn him in. Have we considered that the CEO may have killed a hitman's dog and stole his car in a violent home invasion after his wife died? Just curious.

    I mean. I know there are a lot of theories out there but this seems to be pretty far out.

    United Healthcare CEO shot, killed in midtown NYC

    Ok but if he were going to kill himself why not do it at the scene once he knows the guy is dead for sure.

    United Healthcare CEO shot, killed in midtown NYC

    So this has to be a conspiracy. He has to have a safe house and people helping him hide. It seems like it was so well planned out.

    Syria

    It is not just removing assad. If Assad falls there will absolutely be a genocide The Alawite minority there has been in charge for generations and abused their power. Any of them not able to make it to Turkey are going to die.

    I saw that. BCBS did it today

    I think that if people are paying their premiums they should have to pay out for medically necessary things. There is ZERO percent chance that 1 out of 3 claims is for gender surgery for kids. More likely it happens to people who have cancer or some weird shitt

    UnitedHealthcare rejected one in three claims last year, about twice the industry average.
