      Don’t kill people with guns. Kill people with paperwork. Most effective serial murder in the world. We know their motives, MO, and exactly where they live, but nobody will prosecute them.

        I’m told the best way to kill someone and get away with it is to hit them with your car. Not, like, drive into a crowd of people, but like nail them when they’re crossing the street or walking near the side of the road. Especially if they’re walking or on a bike. You can just say you didn’t see them or whatever, and our car-focused culture will be like “yeah ok that happens.”

        So hypothetically if any healthcare CEOs are out jogging in their suburbs, someone could run them over and maybe not even be charged with a crime.

          Nah, because it’s a CEO the person who does it would definitely get charges, and they would likely push for the death penalty, even for a traffic accident.

          CEOs are not on the same level as the rest of us.

          Might be right, but remember that the families of healthcare CEOs can find a good lawyer to sue your ass for wrongful death.

            Probably better than getting the death penalty for allegedly shooting the CEO dead, but yeah there’s no risk-free way of getting rid of the the worst sorts of people.

    "‘You have not tried all lower levels of care available in your area. You can learn to control your behaviors and stay at home. You can learn coping skills in your home. Your family can support you as you get treatment.’”

    100% I believe they sent this to family… If addictions were so easy to manage we wouldn’t have all these addiction programs

    It’s what Healthcare CEOs call Durable Savings.

    The family premiums won’t go down with one less child, but costs are saved.

    Win-win for shareholders!

    Will the oligarchs seek the death penalty for this company killing a civilian child?

    No

    But they’ll seek the death penalty for a civilian killing one of them.

    Following the killing of Brian Thompson, Tim Noel replaced him as the CEO of UnitedHealthcare. Noel had previously served as the CEO of UnitedHealthcare’s Medicare & Retirement unit. The announcement came after Thompson was fatally shot in December.

    Oligarchs vs their Consumers. Both now killing each other openly. The opening of true class warfare.

    This is clearly a case of terrorism and we need to send a message that we will not negotiate with terrorists. Give the current CEO the death penalty.

    While not the point of this thread, just wanted to note for anyone struggling, themselves or someone they care about, there are lots of resources for addiction out there. Many of them free.

    A treatment center can be a safe place to get clean and gain some knowledge, but it is a lifelong struggle for most who have addiction issues. Going into a treatment center does not “cure” most.

    Please seek out help, even if you do not have insurance or are unable to go to a treatment center.

    My insurer just announced that the addiction counseling service that used to be provided for free to members is going away. Is addiction no longer a medical issue?
