UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson fatally shot outside Hilton hotel in Midtown in targeted attack: cops - Just Part and Parcel of visiting a Big City

[Ted's Cabin]

You can’t even vote with your wallet because of ESG dollars short circuiting consumer boycotts.

Voting with your wallet is depressing anyway, because 100 people could make an informed decision on how exactly they spend their money and a fat whale "outvotes" them with his wallet. It's like how it doesn't matter how many people have good taste in games because the childless south koreans and child-children with credit cards will outvote them.

In US yes. The entire developed world figured out it can't be that way.

The entire developed world includes countries like england, wales and south korea where they publicly shit on the US and privately moan about being on a year-long wait list for a cancer screening. You can blame covid if you want, but the US also shut down their economy for covid and recovered.

Bri'ish all over wait longer for ambulances on average than bumfuck nowhere in the US. Remember that woman who died to a pitbull attack waiting for an ambulance that never came? Or the woman whose child died waiting for an ambulance that came too late?

A family faced an eight-minute wait for an answer to a 999 call before it took another 30 minutes for an ambulance to arrive on the night their three-day-old son died, an inquest has heard.

Wyllow-Raine Swinburn was pronounced dead five minutes after arriving at Oxford's John Radcliffe Hospital in the early hours of September 30 last year.

How about the ability to choose your own doctor, or have a say in your own treatment? Nationalized health care often ban private healthcare from "competing" with them.

Six of the 10 provinces (Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, Prince Edward Island and Quebec) prohibit contracts of private insurance to cover the kinds of services that are publicly funded.

They also choose entirely based on price, so you can fuck off if you want a treatment that's ever so slightly more expensive. Is your surgery considered elective in the US? pay up, bitch. Is your surgery considered elective in canada? Better cross the border to the US for treatment where it'll cost you ten gorillion dollars.
South Korea is collapsing right now because they achieved affordable healthcare through a universal tax, price fixing, and making doctors work 100 hours a week, and surprisingly nobody wants to do that work. Same issue, you can't get treatment when you need it.

What are you going to do when your free health care decides that you're too racist to receive treatment from a black doctor, and won't give you another? How about waiting an hour for an ambulance to show up while grandma dies? What about it being increasing illegal to even purchase private healthcare? What if you get a shit doctor after an 8 month wait and you're not even allowed to pick another? What happens when you don't agree with that doctor's treatment? You also already pay for it. The money is skimmed off of your economy, same as the US.

Before some europoor spergs out at me for this, you really don't have to. It's not personal or overly political, and I'm not saying the US system is good. I know buying healthcare in the US sucks. It's extremely overpriced, and insurance companies are absolute scams. Medication is obscenely expensive when you can buy the same shit in Canada for pennies. Nobody here would deny that, it's a shit system that needs massive reform, but we don't want your system that has your drawbacks that you refuse to acknowledge because you want to win the dick waving contest against burgerstanians. These are important to me and other burgerstanians, and even if they're too retarded to explain why these are meaningful they at least understand in some stupid caveman sense.

The Deposer dropped his phone and water bottle at the scene. I’m guessing he’ll be in custody or has offed himself within 24 hours.

As someone who has previously worked in the healthcare industry. Which has done everything in it's power over four entire decades to somehow make every single step of healthcare worse for patients and anyone even willing to work with patients from getting antibiotics for a sinus infection to a kid with a bronze plan a multi-hour ordeal with bullshit call chains. To the most mundane pointless pettiness having to have ailing widows with cracking finger joints fill out redundant fucking paperwork with information identical to the last 100 trips in duplicate per dialysis visit. All the way down to evil genie rules lawyering what is and isn't "Ackshually" a disease...

No you’re right. There are multiple issues with rNHS and socialised healthcare.
It used to work much better, but the drastic rise in population has fucked it completely, since all the incomes bar a tiny number are net takers not contributors. Some of the European systems work much better, and they tend to be the smaller countries which are more homogenous and which also have a mix of public and private. But ALL Eu healthcare is creaking, because of the population rises and the ageing populations as well.
The nhs could be run a lot better. It is staggeringly inefficient and too loaded with useless management and poor purchasing.

 

[Nameless One]

I'm betting it'll be suicide or a "disappearance." I'll be on the lookout for a week. He brought a phone, essentially an I.D. these days.

Let us pray it is a fake phone with only a wallpaper that mocks the police with 1 GB of goatse photos.

 

[Ashkenazi Porn Actress]

There's a ton of people trying to claim he "must be a leftist" (I am scrolling tweeter by latest tweets).

This is genuine brainrot.
Leftist political violence over the last ten years or so has been:
a) murdering (or trying to) random White people
b) murdering (or trying to) random Trump supporters
c) murdering (or trying to) random bystanders (e.g. whatever happened at CHAZ)
d) looting and arson most of it targeting SMEs
If he is a leftist he is so much of an outlier it's not even funny.

Maybe often, but not always. There's hybrid public/private systems like Switzerland and Israel. It doesn't have to be all one way, or the other.

I'm not gonna pretend to know how to fix the system. I just know from personal experience UHC sucks.

Its weird to see them actually shoot someome that deserved it for a change

This is more than likely rich people feud, cuz Holy shit, that was a clean kill. That looked like an expensive hit man.

This is 2024 late-stage capitalism, terrorists are the only heroes we have left.

I'm not sure this guy is a terrorist. He seems like someone with a chip on his shoulder who decided to commit some good old fashioned murder with a couple casings left behind as a note saying why he did it. Realistically I think he's just not going to get caught and fade into obscurity and never do this again.

Getting away with a single murder is surprisingly easy if they don't have a suspect directly related to the victim. In most major metropolitan areas a ton of murders go unsolved. Street guns are common in America, easy to conceil and easy to dump, so the cops probably will never find the murder weapon let alone tie him to it.

It wasn't a hitman. They wouldn't have used a mask. A hat, shades with some makeup or a wig and a common coat would have worked. He could have faded into the crowd ditched the gun and wig then replaced/disposed of the shades and washed the makeup off in a public bathroom.

 

[Smashed & Slamed]

This indicates at least in part it was motivated by political considerations, even if they relate to a personal story

"If you plan your crime it's politically motivated"
Ah yes the famous political subclass of bank robbbers.

 

[P R O X Y]

Americans are so fucking retarded, you deserve the bullet as much as this man.

I don't care if you give me your little faggot reactions calling my post dumb, avocation of murder makes you a little bitch and just shows how fucking brain rotten your country has become. This man was probably a piece of shit but he inherited a system you had designed yourself. Now smug little kiwifarms and tumblr warriors are happy at the open execution of a man for running a system you built yourself just shows how fucking stupid you all are.

I say this as a Bulgarian whos system is completely rotten and our political system is so fucked at this time it's a miracle we aren't in chaos. Never have I talked to people in my country who would be okay with murdering opposition, not that it hasn't happened in our history.

It's easy to talk shit about the transgenders you hate when they advocate murder and other degenerations but you are okay with a man being murdered because of his occupation no different than the homosexuals you hate. So go ahead and call me a pussy, bootlicker, all of that, but you are just as bad as the degenrates I joined this forum to ridicule.

Cowards.

How is a crime against a CEO of a (shit) shurance company politically motivated??? What does this have to do with politics??

Bread and circuses and at least the reasonable appearance of jut or are all that’s keeping the lid on a lot of pressure.

The bread is quickly approaching $5 a loaf for the bad shit and the circus is tranny support.

The center can not hold if shit doesn't change fast.

Now smug little kiwifarms and tumblr warriors are happy at the open execution of a man for running a system you built yourself just shows how fucking stupid you all are.

That cretin made millions out of making healthcare insurance as miserable as possible to the point that his company denied 36% of claims.

It takes a lot for the Farms and Resetera to agree that someone needed killing, and a shithead like him is making people agree where a pedo being killed wouldn't. Do everyone else here a favor and shut the fuck up about something you know nothing about.
