A Republic, If You Can Keep It

I reckon the life insurance policy premiums of other C level guys at the big health insurance companies just jumped up boy I sure hope they can afford it.

Seriously. These are three different people, right?

He didn’t change outfits/backpacks three times while murdering someone.

NYPD just spamming us with pictures of white guys in a dark hoodie.

I’m starting to think he might not have a plan all.

Indicted NYC Mayor saying that they know the identity of the shooter but they’re not releasing is because they don’t want to tip him off is either one of the dumbest things you’ll hear for a while, or it is the equivalent of Canadian girlfriend.

Or both.

If true, it obviously means they think he was hired and they’re wanting to continue to follow the trail. I’ve thought all along this was a “professional” hit. Maybe not professional as in Leon the Professional or Martin Blanke, those types of professional hitmen don’t really exist in real life, only in the movies. But murder for hire is very real, and it’s usually someone’s numbnuts brother-in-law or someone knows a guy who knows a guy. I wonder just how pissed his wife was at him…

There is a sub-plot - of which I have no idea as to the veracity - that his wife recently reorganized their finances to make sure that his entire estate goes to her.

A plot twist that this was a hit by his wife designed to look like a disgruntled policy holder would be very 2024.

He and his wife had been separated for some time. She has also made a big deal about non-specific “threats” regarding lack of coverage and the like, all the things the shooting was supposed to represent. I’m no conspiracy theorist, so I’d be taking a long, hard look at that wife of his.

The more I think about it - the Monopoly money especially - the more I could conceive of this being a hamfisted misdirect.

If it does turn out that way, I don’t know that it will put the cork back in the bottle of health insurance-related rage. Expect Trump to pour gasoline this fire when he tries to repeal ObamaCare without anything to replace it.

Another day, another official NYPD photograph of a different dude.

This guy supposedly travelled to NYC by bus, stayed at a hostel, took a city bike to/from his murder, left by bus and had only a backpack (which he left behind), yet had more outfit changes than Carrie fucking Bradshaw?

Andrew Witty cannot read a room. Or was in on it.

Here Elon Musk makes the perfect argument for single-payer healthcare:

I guess this was from the fireside chat that @Idstrosfan mentioned.

Is this real? Talk about someone who can’t read the room.

The only thing I will correct on this is that he is not new in this position.

Optum Financial which is a division of UHC bought out my former company (ConnectYourCare) at the very end of 2020.

We all transitioned to Optum Fiancial employees the summer of 2021 and he was already the CEO of UHG by then.

I think the guy who sent this tweet is thinking he is replacing Brian Thompson who was killed. But Thompson was the CEO of UHC not UHG which is the parent company.

Don’t know how important that is except Witty is over the entire Globe while UHC is U.S.

I like the meme that says something like “What did Musk say about the killing?” “I don’t know, something about wanting to be next”.

Not condoning, but it is funny. Musk seems pretty unnerved by this event.

Carrying one of your kids around as a human shield is a bit of a tell.

So Bashar Al-Assad is dead? That’s what I’m hearing…

Did he fall out of a window?
