It's been funny seeing worksonas on linkedin calling him out for being a shitty excuse for a human being

finally, some good fucking news

"The company later removed photos of its leaders from its website."
yeah i'm sure that'll stop this from happening again

Some of people in my circle are talking about the recent Korean failed martial law stuff.
But honestly I just don't understand if it's going to be good or bad.

Are you a Korean politician or CEO or a company that works with South Korean enterprises and trade?

Whoops, didn't realize my HV monsters could die, and need to be renamed.
That was a chore, and I didn't do it seriously this time.

Umm no. I'd prefer a system where special interest lobby groups do not set government policy and regulators actually regulate to prevent companies from going full evil.

All the governments have been doing is replacing old school psychopaths at the top of the corporate ladder with new psychopaths that can not define what a woman is.

People that claim murder is justified if someone uses the wrong pronouns are not less psychopathic than people that will fire employees and rip off customers.


There are so many fucked up lobby groups, consultants and special interest groups. Australia hired McKinsey & Company to manage our submarines and weapon systems contracts that we are spending money on because McKinsey & Company works with the CCP to expand their Navy and weapon systems.

McKinsey & Company is also the consultancy that worked with United Healthcare and other insurance groups to make their polices and procedures deliberately difficult to follow so that they could increase their claim rejection rates artificially and boost profits.

McKinsey & Company also consulted with Big Pharma on how to mass market opiods, get around laws on bribing doctors and then how to avoid regulation, fines and lawsuits relating to the drugs.


McKinsey & Company also made the Covid19 response worse with their consulting. They got paid to develop the proceedures to lock everyone the fuck down then charged to develop the policies and proceedures to unlock people and return to normal. So how to make people paranoid as fuck and report neighbors and then how to spend ages and 100s of millions returning to normal. They also worked with big Pharma to push the vaccinations.

The whole, make people's lives as shit as possible until they comply and then try to be heroes by slowly unwinding those shit policies.

If this person had issues with pronouns that's not what i'm talking about, i had no idea about that

but i like the idea of rich assholes realizing they are in fact not invulnerable and that their choices (pressure to deny as many claims as possible while recording record profits) have consequences. People can live and die by an insurance company's word.

i don't think this has much of anything to do with transgender people or gender identity or whatever, not sure why you felt the need to bring that up. not caring about someone's gender expression/purposefully going against how someone asks to be talked about isn't an offense to be punished by death, it's just being a jerk for no good reason.
if just being an unsociable jerk were punishable by death i'd probably be dead, and certainly a lot of others would be.

United Healthcare does not deny 1 out of every 3 claims because they think they are without medical merit; they do it because they know they can get away with it. Health insurance for profit is nonsensical if the number one goal is truly keeping people healthy.
as a former customer of united healthcare, and someone with family members in the insurance industry, i feel qualified to say the news of his death made me happy even if it won't fix the system.

Like I was saying, we need to get all the psychos out, not replace one set with another set.

For example Taylor Lorenz has recently been on all our ABC shows and podcasts as an expert talking about why Joe Rogan is dangerous and incites violence. Just yesterday she was trending on bluesky for calling for more CEOs to be assassinated.

We need proper regulation and transparency as well as reducing the power of special interest lobbies and evil consultants.


If we go way too far down the rabbit hole:
Another way it relates was Mckinsey recommended creating systems that can extract hundreds of thousands though the hospitals and insurance companies and when all the value is extracted, the insurance companies can drop them. Insurance companies evaluate your value extraction potential before signing you up.

[oci.wi.gov] https://oci.wi.gov/Documents/Consumers/PI-204.pdf


I see a lot of low resolution complaints about insurance companies in the US and killing a few random people. Denying 20-25% of claims is bad, but working with big pharma, health professionals, hospital networks to design a system that is predatory at every level is evil.

Its designed to get you into expensive treatments, extract the any equity / value, and then avoid any liability at the end. Insurance in the US is not about managing risk its about value extraction from the middle class.




edit: Disclaimer: I have no clue what I am taking for back pain atm, so I am not even sure if this post is in English. I do feel great though.

It was failing to cycle because of New York's anti-gun field. That's why he had to work the action manually. They're going to strengthen the force field so that doesn't work next time. It only takes a few more child souls per month. Per borough.

New York detailing their Orwellian surveillance apparatus:
[nypost.com] How NYPD is using AI, drones, DNA and cutting-edge tech in the manhunt for United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s assassin

It's not Orwellian enough. We need to make sure that high-value targets can walk the streets at 7 AM [nypost.com] without their security detail in complete safety. Ideally we wouldn't allow anybody else to leave their homes at all. More surveillance!

Spoiler text - Highlight to read...
Except that Mason wasn't a CEO, Quincy got "killed" twice and both turned out to be robot decoys, and Mason came back from the dead twice in new, stronger bodies by the time they quit making OAVs... About how a CEO would want it to work!

Probably dead. I had a US relative where the insurance cut off the payments and he was kicked out of the hospital and stroked out 45 mins later.

Good system.


I'd say ours was better but the lefties have run it into the ground. Its hard to see a doctor now. You need to pee-register like 5 years in advance to make sure you can get in to see them.

Go see a random doctor for free on demand, pffft, that's not happening anymore.
